Are you able to set the ringer to be louder than an ordinary phone? It states there are ringer settings, but I was not sure how loud the highest setting would be. Thank you.

I purchased this phone for my husband who has no hearing in one ear and impaired hearing in the other. The Trimline does have a volume boost button which increases the volume range to 27.5 db. With the boost, the phone is louder than an ordinary phone. My husband recently purchased a Geemarc Ampli500 which amplifies up to 50db; he can use this phone with and without his hearing aide. The Trimline is a good phone, but whether or not it will work for you, depends upon the degree of your hearing loss.

You can turn the ringer off by pressing Menu #160, then press volume down and save...and it also has a Silent Mode where you can set certain times to be silent. I don't know the shortcut for that, but it's Menu &gt; Initial Setting &gt; Ringer Setting &gt; Silent Mode. I normally just turn the ringer off like above so I use the shortcut, very simple.

The speaker volume matches my phone's ringer volume. If I have the speaker on in my home office and my phone is on the other side of the house I will hear one or the other where ever I am. If my phone is in the same room as the speaker I hear the ringer in stereo, but not any louder than either device on its own. I have an iPhone 4S.

It's pretty loud in your ear, but like all cell phones, it doesn't ring loud. You have to mostly depend on the vibrate. I didn't try using it with sensitive ear buds though. Some ear buds are louder than others. It's a really nice phone though, and I got a black rubber case for it, it's really nice to handle.

I have the same problem. There doesn't seem to be a way to adjust the volume on the base station or handset beyond the up/down on the handset that tops out at LVL5, which isn't loud enough. what the heck!?

John - the ringers can be raised or lowered. "Very loud" is subjective to each individual. We believe it gets rather loud. Thanks!

Okay, I have a question is the ringer very loud and also is the voice volume loud because I am getting this phone for my father that has to have hearing aids and even with them has a little hard time hearing still.. I need a phone for him because of health reasons. this sounds like a great phone. but still wondering about the volumes of the ringer and also the voice volume when you are talking.. thanks

There is no problem with hearing the phone ring. There is also an option on the phone where you can adjust to having your phone in your purse...rings louder

Yes, you can adjust the ringer volume in addition to putting it in "Silent Mode".

I was able to get my unit to ring,but only last a day then you have to reset it again, It sounds like you have defective unit. I would return it for your money back or a better unit. My unit starts ringing if I use my cordless phone!

The Ringer can be put on off, low or high. I just tested it. The phone works very well. Both the speaker and hand held are clear and can be adjusted for volume. It also has a jack for a headset. I would buy again.

It does have a volume adjustment. Press in on the call hang up button but HOLD DOWN ON IT. A ding sound will increase in volume all the way up to a point, then start at the lowest possible volume setting again. Do this while on a call and be careful not to hang up on the person by pressing and releasing quickly. You might be able to try it while playing music, too, but I have not tried it yet.

There is a setting in the phone. Try this:Go to MENU - SETTINGS - SOUND PROFILES - scroll to ACTIVE PROFILE - select PHONE to adjust ringtone and volume - select SPEAKER TAB FOR VOLUME.

I don't understand the question. Are you asking if the phone ringer can be muted so it does not ring, but you could still answer the phone?

Yes. You also can set each individual phone's ringer to how loud or low you'd like it, even turn the ringer off if you want. Neither phone base has a volume control.

That is as loud as the volume will go on this phone, this phone does not ring very loud at all. The Outdoor profile is the loudest it goes.

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.
