I am considering buying this phone for an older person with hearing loss. Hoow is the sound when you put the phone against your ear? (loud/soft)

There is a lot of adjustment in the volume and is easily controlled with the volume buttons on the side of the phone, at maximum it is very loud.

It is not. It is your only phone. However, it's the best phone ever. My mom has no trouble hearing anything on it.

I think its loud but I am not hard of hearing, I actually have it on medium, so I would think it is ok. You can always return phone if it doesn't work. The reason I wanted it was 4 AT&T; phones I tried the speaker did not work right. It works great on this phone.

the one that I have is a loud electonic type of bell. It can be heard rather well considering it is located downstairs. A great choice for clarity and adjustable hearing (there is a loud switch/low volume switch on the side). By bell in your question I am assuming you mean the older type of phones that had the real bell (ring, ring), this one has the same sound only it is electronic. Hope that helps answer your question. I will be ordering another one for the bedroom.

I can't really answer that question because of hearing problems, but I can hear very well as long as I place my ear in the correct position! Haven't tried the speaker phone yet, sorry.

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.

No, actually I like this phone but I can't hear the person on the other end that good. I always have to click on Speaker to hear, but then I get static.

Yes, the phone does amplify the calls and does with a hearing aid, I got it for my 87 year old mother and she loves it because she can hear. Where she lives there is no caller ID so I couldn't tell you about that.

Sound is loud. However when the sound is on loud it is very high pitched. The volume can be changed when on a call.

on the side of the phone there is a ringer volume. i think if you pull it down that is the loudest. try it both ways

Level of hearing problem varies for each individual. I myself have more than moderate hearing loss and have used only Panasonic phones for last 20 years; so I cannot compare them with other manufacturers. But I should say that the speaker loudness works for me.

Mines not loud at all. You have to put it next to your ear to hear it. I bought it because it was supposed to be loud.

I don't know. I have no trouble hearing on the phone with the aid in my ear.

It is very LOUD when set to the loud setting. I wear hearing aids and cannot hear the alarm when it's set to the low setting, And that's with my hearing aids! It's a shrill, loud sound.

You can hear it but it's not as loud as it is with out it. But if you use the plug addapter that should come with the phone with speakers or head phones it's he same as it is with out. So if you get a case I suggest you get speakers also

My husband has this phone with an otterbox, and I always hear myself echo when I talk to him, but not with anyone else. It must be the phone, not the case.

The sound on this phone is wonderful. Very clear and no interferences of any kind. To hear someone talking on this phone is great. I am an severe hearing impaired person since Birth, and I was hesitant at first myself. However, I took a chance and have never regretted my decision to buy this particular cell phone. I thank Tracfone for this wonderful cell phone and Amazon for carrying it. Good Luck!
