Anybody know about hearing clarity for hearing impaired/hearing aid folks?

I don't wear a hearing aid, but I do have a hearing problem and probably should. I find the sound clarity of this phone "fuzzy" on the cordless handsets and my wife, who has perfect hearing has the same problem, so I know it is not just me. I also know it is not a line problem, because my old cordless phones are clear as a bell, just worn out so I can't use them. I would not recommend this phone to anyone with a hearing problem.

I haven't had any issues with it. It's clear and loud enough for me. I'd assume with your hearing aids you wouldn't have an issue.

Sorry I don't have a better answer. It's pretty loud but not specifically designed for the hearing impaired.

I do not know how bad your hearing is but it really helped my mother . It has a microphone to pick up sound so whatever the sound system is putting out will be picked up and amplified . Good luck

I am also a hearing aid user and I really miss live music. I still go to shows but using HAs really distorts the loud music and listening without looses part of the music even if overall it is loud enough. I am looking for a headphone amp with a graphic equalizer and a stereo microphone for the amp input. If folks have any suggestions, I hope they will post them.

Almost nothing. Only good for moderate hearing loss. The "Tweak" unit works much better for severe hearing loss and is 100 dollars cheaper. Both are quality units.

I have not had any problem with that. I have used it extensively while walking through the house and doing projects in the garage. I've asked the people that I've spoken with if they hear any interference because of the headset and they say that I have been crystal-clear. I'm actually going to buy a second one for the garage handset

Yes. Have not heard clear sounds from any stations. Wondering if this is a signal problem or else the device have some issue. Not really using this device at this point.

Yes, though the boost is really very minimal. If you have more than moderate hearing loss, this item will not help much. Mine ended up in the trash.

My mother is severly hearing impaired and she loves them and it gives my ears a break from loudness. The house is quiet at night while she watches tv. I suggest buying them brand new from Radio Shack because the ones that I bought from a seller on Amazon were defective and had to be returned. They are worth the money.

I found this on a website: http://iaudiophile.net/forums/showthread.php?t=40399 . I think this helped some people.

I'm not sure if it will work with a hearing aide or not. I can tell you that they are crystal clear. There is always the possibility that you may get some type of feedback with a hearing aide.

My husband also has a hear deficiency. He can hear the TV a lot better. It is very clear for him. He really enjoys it.

I found this hearing device to be unsatisfactory for my use. First let me say that I am hearing impaired, can't hear much from my right ear and have a hearing aid in my left ear. The device does amplify and helps but it loses the signal very easily. You cannot go into another room or you lose the signal and sometimes if you even turn your head, you lose the signal. I ended up returning it and getting the Sennheiser 840 device. i do not have that problem with it and it does help with hearing. I can also use it with my hearing aid in. Hope that helps.

I have a profound hearing loss and wear BTE Aids. There is a volume control button on the Jitterbug Phone that enables enhanced hearing.

Nope; but I'm 37, so a lot of my hearing at very high frequencies is gone. If you're in your teens/twenties there may be a sound that's audible to you, but not me (or the people who designed and tested it). If that's the case, congratulations on your lame superpower and get off my lawn.

Sorry - I don't know. I did not keep the hearing device. It just wasn't working for me!
