How good is this phone for hearing impaired?

I would say yes. My hearing thanks to the Army isn't that good and I can hear pretty well, but it really depends on your comfort level

This phone was purchased for my daughter, when I call her I can hear her loud and clear.

Hi!At first the reception was pretty bad. Not sure if it was the area I'm in or the phone, but it did get much better. Under the settings there is a sound mode that can be adjusted. You can give the phone a try and if it doesn't work, there should be a money-back guarantee time frame so you can return the device. Hope this helps.

I also have some hearing loss. There are times I wish. It had more volume but for the most part it is adequate. I have this phone system connected to my internet router and VOIP adapter. Sound volume may be better if connected to a POTS...Plain Old Telephone System. Handsets need to be located equa distant from base set or you have dropped calls. I hope this helps.

It does have a volume control, but it may not have enough volume to help. That would depend on the person using it. This phone is not intended for someone with real hearing problems, but there are other phones for similar prices which ARE designed to help the near-deaf.

My mother, who uses the phone, wears two hearing aids. She has the corded phone and doesn't have any problem hearing conversation on it. I can't speak for the cordless one as I've not tried it. I did call the company for some help with the phone and their customer service is excellent, so I'm thinking that if you purchase one and don't like it, the return should be fairly easy. Hope this is helpful.

Judith, I'm not certain of the decibel level, however my friend is also hearing impaired. She has used my phone. She has mentioned, she can "barely hear" anything. And that's when the phone was working.

Not a good phone. My father has a hearing aid, complained about volume. I've tried it out, the volume seems to cut out Throughout conversation. Would not recommend

The speaker phone is in the handset. This is a good phone for hearing-it cups your ear a bit so it doesn't pick up much background noise.

The phone actually has two controls for volume. One is to control the decibel level and the other controls the tone (treble vs. bass). As I am severely hearing impaired, this is a real plus.

I routinely use the speaker phone and have not encountered any complaints from callers. On my end the sound is clear. I have had the phones for a couple years now and am very happy with my purchase.

Sound quality is good... Volume control easily used as is the volume boost feature for the hearing impaired.

This phone is essential for me: I wear two hearing aids. One ear has moderately severe hearing loss, the other worse. The phone enables me to use the phone. People with arthritis might have trouble with the buttons.

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.

My parents are in their 80's and they hear quite well on the phones, but they do not have severe hearing loss. I bought the pair of phones so when I make my weekly call I can talk to Mom on the sofa and Dad in the big chair and hear them clearly myself. When they use them, I can hear them quite well, but they keep reverting to the old speaker phone on the other side of the room they are hard to hear.

Being that I don't wear a hearing aid, it's hard to say if this phone would work for someone that is hearing impaired. The speaker is adjustable, but I can't adjust it while I'm on a call. For this reason I wouldn't recommend it. Unless you get a really good deal on it.
