If my wife with super hearing needs to pick up, can the extra volume and text be turned off?

Yes, the volume actually automatically adjusts back so a safe level (still loud but not dangerous) for users with normal hearing when a captioned call is ended. Your wife will be able to answer the phone with out any danger to hear hearing.

Yes the volume is completely adjustable and text only starts when you touch the panel button to do so. It is a fully functional normal phone with nice phonebook/message center. It really is nice.

No there is, you press on the "lower volume" button on the headset for 2 seconds until it beeps = mute, 2 more seconds = unmuted. It's written there in black and white on the manual!

Yes,you can mute the key volume.That would get a little annoying at time's.

Just checked. It has a Handset setting and then a volume setting that you can turn down to mute. It does not have one button if that is what you want. I really like this phone. We have had our set for several years. Good volume and quality. Also, it is one of the few phones with a handset phone jack for plugging in a head set. In fact I just order this phone again to replace 2 others in the house that have aged and are not working well.

Yes. There is a switch about 1/3 of the way from the top on the right side of the base. Slide it all the way down and that turns off the ringer. The middle setting is for low volume. Thanks for asking, as I learned something useful too.

yes. listen to the alert voice (which is recorded), she talks very fast but tells you which button to click on your phone. The instructions are buried deep in the owners manual. I have been notified twice and was able to turn it off.

There is no problem with hearing the phone ring. There is also an option on the phone where you can adjust to having your phone in your purse...rings louder

The sound can be changed from a series of beeps to a tune. I'm not sure if it can be turned off. I believe that the sound is less annoying than the average cellphone.

No ... volume is controlled on the device to which the phones are plugged in. However, if not turned "on" the sound is greatly diminished.

There is a volume for the sounds This may allow you to set it very low or possibly off. Although I have not tried to set it that low so I'm not certain.

Hi,Not sure if you can disable the talking feature, but you can lower the volume.

Yes. The ringer can be turned off by scrolling the menu until you see ringer. Once there, select ringer volume. Lower volume until ringer is turned off. I hope this helps.

yes, the sound can be turned off. The screen is just too small and the lighting is too dim. It is a waste of my money.

I have a severe hearing disability and cannot hear this system going off. It is up to my husband to hear.

Asked the wife and she says that everyone hears her just fine. She does talk a little louder than most. Personally I don't like these things, need a phone to my ear.

Yes. Press Hold and then press dial to make it accessible. Or to get rid of it so you won't be ear dialing just press hold again.
