" ... And the speakerphone button is too small for an older person to see, much less press without pressing something else at the same time. ... "
" ... It has not worked for my hard of hearing elderly Mother. ... "
" ... None of.thw buttons on the phone would work, you were not able to answer the phone, but the display would light up and you were able to see who was calling. ... "
" ... The volume control does very little to change volume. ... The boost button helps but the entire phone is too complicated for an elderly person. ... "
" ... However, he gets a little confused with all the buttons. ... "
" ... Also, be aware that the hand units are covered in buttons and controls, which can overwhelm certain fumble-fingered seniors, causing sudden random beeps and expletives during a given phone conversation. ... "
" ... He is extremely hard of hearing, turns the volume up all the way and then uses the boost button. ... "

" ... it worked great, looked just like in the picture, wasn't heavy (which helps a lot with the elderly) and it was loud enough for the person to hear but not too loud to bother people around. ... "
" ... we are in a building where there is loud music and we can hear the phone well. ... "
" ... The biggest and most important plus is that she hears very well with this phone at a mid-range volume set but knows how to use the boost feature. ... "
" ... First, the sound quality of their conversation to me is much higher than the wired and cordless phones they had before. ... "
" ... It is great for my mother who sometimes forgets to hang up the phone and couldn't hear the sound you get when you did not hang up the phone. ... "

" ... It is louder than a regular phone, but the sound isn't clear as the speaker in the headset is obviously low quality. ... "
" ... If you have trouble hearing someone, such as because they are speaking too far from their cell phone mike, and you turn up the volume and then they start speaking normally, the Clarity blasts your ear drums. ... "

" ... :) She says it's very loud, and she has serious hearing deficiencies. ... "
" ... The volume control does very little to change volume. ... "
