How do you enhance the phone function for the hard of hearing for seniors?

On the contrary I turn up mine to 7 and hear the ring and also the caller at the other end. One needs to eek assistance to find a ring tone that one who is hard of hearing can be happy with. As a matter of fact I use two hearing aids and find the phone admirable

Tools you are able to set the volume to 7 - there are a lot of different LOUD noises it will make. Also in that same tool you are able to have the ring tone keep increasing as it rings as well. Mine rings and vibrates at the same time - yeah it makes you jump but at my age I need a jump now and then :) Probably cell to cell sometimes is hard to hear the person calling - but I work in a cement billing with diesel trucks running so usually if I say I can hear you - people can increase their voice :)

You can recieve the calls normally, but you won't be able to hear them through the speakers, unfortunately. I tried..

No-this is just a simple, inexpensive, corded phone that has a button to push for people who are hearing impaired to assist them in hearing telephone calls. The phone also rings very loudly.

Yes you can make calls. It's sort of uncomfortable up against your ear and the sound is a bit muffled

Yes - I did the same thing for my elderly mother. It's a very durable phone.

The phone does have a loud setting, but I still find it difficult to hear the person I am communicating with in an environment with normal background noise. I would suggest that the purchase of a more specialized phone would be more suitable for your needs.

Not as loud as I would like and no way to make it louder manually. Also, would be happier if ringer volume could be increased. Perhaps if you contact Great Call directly, they could tell you if volume can be increased by them. Otherwise great product.

I am hard of hearing. I have hearing aids. I would recommend this phone to anyone. Besides speaker volume, you can turn on the speaker which increases the sound. Excellent phone.

Sorry,just don't know the answer..What I do know is that my mom can hear her phone calls,now..As far as volume,well worth the price..

The tone quality is good and the volume of the caller's voice can be increased, with a push of a button, during the call. So I would say this phone could be suitable for someone with a moderate hearing loss. If the person's hearing loss is severe, then one of the phones that type out what the caller is saying on a display screen might be required.

Absolutely! My husband is a little hard of hearing (but he won't admit it) and he can hear perfectly fine no matter who he talks to. You can up the volume a lot, but I haven't had to. This is the best phone on the market.

Joan, my wife, has ahearing aid and has no ,trouble using the phone. However, this may not be true with every hearing aid. Joan's is a Costco hearing aide.

The phone is suitable for an elderly person, but the ringer isn't very loud and the screen is small. I originally bought this phone for my step father, he loved it (because it was easy to use); but he would complain that the ringer wasn't loud enough and the screen wasn't big enough. If I had a choice, I wouldn't by this for a person who had issues with their eyes or needed a phone with a loud ringer.

I don't think so. My mom found it difficult to do anything but make and receive calls. If I had it to do over I would buy a different phone for her

The length can be adjusted to the highest level. I have difficulty hearing but I can hear quite well. Additional phones should be added ( in a basement) if required. I am going for this option

I bought this phone for my 76 year old mother. The ringer is loud enough for her to hear and it is easy to use.

No. the ringtone sounds fine to me. But, at my age of 89 ,my hearing response at the higher end of the sound spectrum is surely not the best.
