Can anyone speak to the volume of the recorded message? My little man is losing his hearing...thx!

I can hear it in the room next door. My dog is deaf and she learned to use it pretty fast. She comes to check the bowl around feeding time anyway even if she doesn't hear it right away.

It's pretty loud...but my cat sort of knows what time it's opening, and seems to jog over when he hears it click open before it even talks to him. The voice message plays three times. I'm guessing if you record it loud, he'll either hear it or check and see it open.

I know it had a volume on it, my pigs heard it fine. But I put the feeder in the pen with them. Sorry if this doesn't help much.

I could hear it from the other room well enough, but it could be drowned up by music/TV or the washing machine etc.Mind you, this product does generally suck so I wouldn't recommend it.

I too am interested in this feature. I thought I was the only one that thought the dialogue was quiet & the music/effects too loud. This is MOSTLY blamed on poor mixing by whoever was responsible for creating the disk you are watching. I'm also interested in it so the commercials don't SCREAM at me on the rare occasions when I watch live TV.

The back ground noise is SO loud. I have tried many things to make it quieter because I can't hear the voices and words over the noise. Most recently some one told me to put a piece of bread over it's speaker while recording to cut fuzz, that kind of worked but I would suggest an audio program to cut it out maybe?

during set up, how was the volume set in your computer/pad/phone? i control the volume in my setup, from my iPad. i believe that i too had that issue, and my son enlightened me. i may also have incorrectly set up the blue tooth. certainly glad my son is patient... because i have only been retired from being a computer programmer for over 30 years, would have hoped that i would have been able to set up a small speaker on my own!

Ours says letter. Maybe they rerecorded the audio in newer versions though.

Have you tried to adjust the volume of your computer? I didn't have such problem with this device. If you recently purchased this device, and you are having problems with people unable to hear you, you might want to call the manufacturer. I believe Amazon.com may have the toll free number. Hopefully my suggestion helps.

There is no speaker for the video or anything. For the doorbell, it's quite loud. I actually requested people use that bell b/c it was louder than our builder-grade doorbell. BUT, we've had it for less than a year and the doorbell stopped working all together.

It is definitely loud. My Dad is hearing impaired and has no problems hearing this phone. I think it is also very loud when talking on the phone as well.

Thanks MJ, will try again to do so. So far, "they are experiencing a higher than anticipated volume of calls, so please call back some other time" CLICK. Once holidays pass, I should be able to get through. Does this type of message piss anyone else off as much as it does me? :-)

It is very loud. So much so I find it offensive. I do know a person very hard of hearing can hear it. I like it very much. I have others and I find this one the best. Good luck!!

its really weird that I got this question today. Up until about 3 days ago it was perfect. People could hear from quite a distance. Now in the car people cannot understand what I'm saying. Its very sensitive but it seems like you're not blocking noise. Its not blocking noise. I was thinking of calling them to find out what was up. Been real disappointed lately period last 3 4 days

It is high pitched - so if he has high frequency hearing loss - maybe - although it is very loud!!

I forwarded the question to the user of the hearing aids...hopefully a reply is forthcoming.....Patti

Your volume is not normal, ours is extremely loud. We keep it at low setting. I hope this helps.

Yes. It is not as loud or good quality as if you were recording someone talking directly, but it is clearly audible.

Great idea! I downloaded the decibel meter App, and with the fan running it read an average of 62Db = "normal conversation" (vs. 42Db = "average household room") . So, its like having a 2 strangers come to your kitchen and have a conversation overtop of you all the time the fan is running...

Set the alert feature to "siren" mode and it will sound relentlessly. At its highest volume setting, I can not fathom anyone sleeping thorough the siren on this thing. If you do, then you need to have your hearing tested!
