Would these work for conversation with an elderly person with very poor hearing?

Possibly they are very clear and loud but they can be very uncomfortable so it depends on the person and their ear

I imagine that earphones might make it more difficult to hear, what with them being in their ears and all.

Do you think they would work using them to talk on the telephone , of course using a adapter?

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.

I'm not sure if it will work with a hearing aide or not. I can tell you that they are crystal clear. There is always the possibility that you may get some type of feedback with a hearing aide.

Yes they can. My mom uses in a nursing home where she has a room mate. sometimes they watch together with mom using wireless headset because she can not hear well. This is a great product.

I would definitely not recommend this phone to elderly persons or those with sight or dexterity issues. In addition the voice quality is not the best. Good luck.

Based on our experience with it, I would say it depends on the extent of the person's hearing loss. Our mom is extremely hard of hearing so we need to hold the mic right near our mouth when we speak to her. For others, I think you'd be able to put the mic on a table and it would pic up a conversation with multiple people. I have to say, theis was a great option for a 90 year old lady who regulalrly loses small hearing aids.

The person that I used it on had a very soft voice and the microphone pick it up. I believe it will work for your grandmother. You may have to place the microphone closer to her mouth. I believe it will work.

I doubt it would be ideal! For voice recognition you need a decent, sensitive microphone. For the money the plantronics is a very comfortable but not particularly durable unit. Volume in and out is adequate.

I would say "yes." My husband is pretty hard of hearing and even he doesn't set it at maximum volume.

Would work, however, a cheap pair of walkie talkies would do just fine and would have no interference and would be more secure. They can be purchased at Radio Shack.

we use this as a hearing aid for members that can't hear.if it is pluged into a interperter's amp, i think it would work fine.

My husband does not have hearing aids so I can't really address the question. We BOUGHT headphones for him and they work quite well. He has an accoustic neuroma and hearing aids have not been successful for him.

My mother has weak hearing I will have her use them these coming few days and let you know!

Yes, they would work very well for that. I use them at work to block out annoying co workers and my boss always telling me what to do. However the music volume doesn't go very loud because they are not amplified speakers. I don't use them often anymore tho because I don't have a job due to my lack of coherence.

YES, I THINK THEY CAN, BECAUSE OF THE SWIVEL in the plastic tube coming from the hearing assist. This company will not refund you if it doesn't work for you, if you OPEN the packaging. Hard to check out without opening the packaging. I'm out $185. because of this. Buyer beware.

I can't say for sure but I have had no complaints on the other end. Even with my mom who can have a hard time hearing me on the phone sometimes. With these she could hear me just fine. I can't hear anything other than myself and the person on the other line. And I can hear them very clearly. I prefer to use these to talk on the phone now.
