I could not activate this phone. ATT said this is 2G device and they no longer support. So, couldn't tell you how loud.

as long as the person does not have a high level hearing impairment, i think they should be fine. sorry, i cannot give u any specifics, such as decibels, etc.

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.

Charles, it's plenty loud enough for us. You can control the volume from your bluetooth device and from the speaker itself. We've had to turn it down, we can hear it throughout our fairly large house. Having said that, if you're trying to fill a large hall or something then it mightn't suit your needs. We're very happy with this purchase, it's been an absolute winner!

I would say depending upon your walls 10 -15ft. So you have to actually walk around the house and if the item is not buried under pillows or cushions you may not be able to hear it unless maybe 2-4ft away. Great for people who have mild Alzheimer's. But at some point in time a person with Alzheimer's should not be using a purse or keys as they tend to hide stuff.

My husband used this phone for a while. He never had the issue of people not being able to hear him but he did have the issue of not being able to hear the phone. After a while the speakers started to not work too well so you could barely hear it when he got a call or text.

I'm 69 & have slight hearing loss also, so says my wife anyhow. This system has a really nice speakerphone but also has a headphone jack on the handsets, so you can plug in an amplified headset if you need to right into the handset jack... just FYI... that is if the speakerphone ends up not loud enough, but it is pretty loud & very clear also.

This is very loud - I only use mine in the car (connected to my iPhone) and really love it!! Should definitely be loud enough - even with the windows open! Enjoy

Base unit hands-free speaker works reasonably well with tolerable sound quality. I don't use the base unit hands-free much but it's as least as good as some of the more expensive office-type units I've used. The mobile unit's hands-free works quite well and I use it in this mode often.

The sound output is not that great by itself. I connect mine to a JAM portable speaker which allows me to adjust the volume sound to what I want. If you want the sound output tol be heard by a large group, you will need to find an external speaker to your liking.

It has more volume and better sound than my laptop internal speakers and it comes with a volume control. It does well for a USB powered speaker without an external powered amp. I use it to listen to Sirius Internet Radio from my laptop. I stay plugged in most of the time so I cannot say how fast your battery would be drained by using it but it should not use any more than your internal speakers in your device you are using does.

Sorry, I am unable to respond to your question due to the fact that I no longer have the item in question in my possession. As stated earlier, It was not for myself but for my inlaws. (trying to help with their hearing issues). Hearing loss can be a big issue with the elderly.

Sorry for the delay in responding. The speaker phone is wonderful. I use it frequently while working on the computer at the same time. Sound is fine and people do not complain about being on the speaker.

The volume is excellent on the handsets. It can be adjusted to whichever suits your hearing needs. I am very pleased with the unit. I have had it for 1 1/2 years.

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.

Can't answer. Sent it to my crotchety, deaf, 93-year-old cousin who refused to use it! Good luck, Jennifer! P.S. Would you consider adopting my cousin? ;-)

its loud enough to play in a house with a couple of people. its not loud or clear enough for large settings. an intimate setting with a few people is more than sufficient. I use it on my boat and to workout. I walk around my house and my garage with it. its range is limited so the phone cant be far. I get about 4-5 hours out of mine.
