would you recommend this phone for someone who is hard-of-hearing?

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.

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.

Sure. It's pretty loud and will announce incoming calls through the speaker.

I'm going to say no, this phone is a basic phone . The volume is not really loud not can you make it that way.

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.

The clarity is very good - I bought this phone because my husband has hearing problems and this phone does help.

Our experiences with this phone are not good. We are elderly and our hearing is not what used to be. It is difficult to hear. Putting it on speaker phone improves the clarity, somewhat. We do not recommend this phone, even with someone who has perfect hearing.

I don't know. What happened is that after I had bought the phone you had I discovered that the company that made them for GE had gone out of business and that there was no longer any technical support for their product. So I returned it and bought a Clarity cordless phone with hearing enhancement. My experience with the Clarity has been satisfactory.Good luck.John Mills

It works well with the At&t phone i have ( CL2939) But I dont know about the hearing impairment aspect you can adjust the listen and speak independently

I am hard of hearing, so this phone has been good for me. The ring volume is quite loud, even with my hearing. The music is also very loud on the high settings. Phone lasts up to a week on one charge, the best I've everbeen able to obtain from any phone. Keys are large and easy to press. Texting is good although it doesn't have a keyboard. Unless a large amount of texting is done this phone will do well. Well worth the price.

I can hear fine, and the person I'm talking to never seems to have any problems hearing me. There is difficulty when you have the phone on speaker, the person always complains that they can't hear me, but I can hear them fine. So other than the speakerphone part, the hearing isn't a problem. I also tend to use my Bluetooth headphones whenever I can just because it's convenient and it's a little clearer

I don't have that exact situation but I have a hard time hearing people and they can't hear me. I understand it's because the phone is waterproof and everything is blocked. I'll stick with my life proof which is not as bad

Hearing aids are very frequency responsive. If you have ever played with your computer's audio player, you might have noticed it has a "graphic equalizer". This allows you to set the frequencies best for your hearing. This phone is set for best voice modulation. If you compare the sound from this phone with many others, you will find that most people describe the sound as "deep" or "rich" or "so realistic"... etc. Hearing aids have difficulty with higher end frequencies that are normally on the top end of the voice scale. Therefore, most hearing aids are going to "like" this sound as it is most like real human speech. The tones will be low enough and rich enough that the hearing aid does not lose detail in the top end. Hope that helps.. :)

Although my hearing is going bad, it is not that bad. The volume is adjustable and you should be able to make it loud enough on the handset, in my opinion. We occasionally use the speakerphone feature and also find that to be very loud, but adjustable.

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.

I too have hearing problems, and the handset volume is just what I needed. I think you'll love it.
