Can anyone comment on the volume at which it picks up your voice? I don't want to shout in order to be heard.

You do not have to yell in anyway. You can speak in a normal voice and the mic picks up really well. I have used mine in situations where speaking loudly wasn't an option and it worked like a charm.

I've had no issue with speaking volume and use just my normal speaking voice. The mic is sensitive and like many competitors background noise in a crowded area like a restaurant can be prevalent.

I only hear it when the volume is on high. You can adjust the volume on the side of the hearing aid. This hearing aid is much louder than my more expensive hearing aid. I only use it at home.

There is a microphone mute switch on the volume control. Muted sound has to be done via hotkey/desktop action/etc.

Answering on behalf of my grandmother: the voice is seemingly loud in a quiet room, but it needs to be held up closer to her ear in a crowded room/restaurant, etc.

Its fairly loud. But no real loud. If the individual is very hard of hearing I would not recommend it.

Tom here. I'm happy with Oontz speaker quality and sound. Don't like the voice either and have not found a way to silence it. There seems no way to silence it not turn it down. Sorry fellow tech lover!

Not very. I was actually surprised by the lack if noise. I can carry on a conversation without raising my voice with the fan on max. You know its running, but it's quite tolerable. With a speed switch reducing the flow to less than max you have to listen for the fan.

Thanks for your question. Volume setting depends on individual recordings and sources. It's not atypical to have to turn up the volume.

Mine is hardly loud at at...really disappointing. Can hardly hear it on a phone call in the car.

Here is how I use it. Turn the devices volume just a little high. Use the volume control to turn it down to your liking. The range is enough to turn it down to FULL OFF, with no audio coming thru. I am glad I brought it.

My suggestion is to trash it and get an Aker VoiceBooster. These really are just toys and I have tried just about every option for amplification known to man.

The volume is certainly adequate. I haven't tried the microphone, so I can't comment on that feature.

Funny you mention it. I've read a few people stating so, not many though. I think people are more worried about hearing others, not others hearing them. However, this is the key feature I'm looking for. I'm trying to replace my Panasonic KX-TG2730, which my Dad can't hear me on at all. I thought he was going deaf, until a house guest called me at work from my phone and I realized it's been my phone the whole time. I have numerous other people asking me to speak up too. I would like this phone, it's got excellent reviews, but I'm going to do a little more research first.

You can turn the volume low enough that you cannot hear it. Check your settings.

The issue is probably on your phone itself or you have the mic positioned too far away from you. It needs to be within 3 feet. Mine is probably a little over 2 feet away from my mouth and as long as the volume on my phone is turned all the way up I have never had any issues being heard.

It's not a lot of noise. I use a headset for work and I can hear easily without having to turn it off.

Sorry, I can not help you, it was a gift for my great nephew. At the time I printed one of the reviews regarding the volume setting, since that was the only troublesome issue. Look in the reviews for guidance. Good luck!
