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 don't think so. The ringer volume and the voice volume are both very weak even when turned up all the way.

It is a 4 in both major categories i.e. for hearing aid compatibility. Like every other phone, it depends on your proximity to your cell phone tower, the weather, etc. I find reception better on incoming calls than on dialed out calls.

This phone is essential for me: I wear two hearing aids. One ear has moderately severe hearing loss, the other worse. The phone enables me to use the phone. People with arthritis might have trouble with the buttons.

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.. :)

OK. It is not bad but at time the volume on the phones seem low and it is hard to hear. When they are loud enough they are clear. All the negative reviews on this phone were right. One of the few things I like is that its range is good.

My mother, who uses the phone, wears two hearing aids. She has the corded phone and doesn't have any problem hearing conversation on it. I can't speak for the cordless one as I've not tried it. I did call the company for some help with the phone and their customer service is excellent, so I'm thinking that if you purchase one and don't like it, the return should be fairly easy. Hope this is helpful.

The sound on this phone is wonderful. Very clear and no interferences of any kind. To hear someone talking on this phone is great. I am an severe hearing impaired person since Birth, and I was hesitant at first myself. However, I took a chance and have never regretted my decision to buy this particular cell phone. I thank Tracfone for this wonderful cell phone and Amazon for carrying it. Good Luck!

Joan, my wife, has ahearing aid and has no ,trouble using the phone. However, this may not be true with every hearing aid. Joan's is a Costco hearing aide.

I have experienced great results with this phone. I have excellent hearing; my wife's hearing is starting to decline (deafness runs in her family). The phone is versitile enough to allow us to modify volume to suit each of us, without sacrificing sound quality.

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

This is a decent phone for rough use. Screen size is ok.. (don't compare with Smart phones). This is very good for people who want to use it for calls, small games. Music.. I would suggest if you are are looking for only these requirements. I got the phone but it was not Unlocked.

My parents are in their 80's and they hear quite well on the phones, but they do not have severe hearing loss. I bought the pair of phones so when I make my weekly call I can talk to Mom on the sofa and Dad in the big chair and hear them clearly myself. When they use them, I can hear them quite well, but they keep reverting to the old speaker phone on the other side of the room they are hard to hear.

Absolutely! My husband is a little hard of hearing (but he won't admit it) and he can hear perfectly fine no matter who he talks to. You can up the volume a lot, but I haven't had to. This is the best phone on the market.

I routinely use the speaker phone and have not encountered any complaints from callers. On my end the sound is clear. I have had the phones for a couple years now and am very happy with my purchase.
