We often hear customers asking for the ‘best mobile phone for the hard of hearing’. With manufacturers bringing out new models every couple of months (even weeks sometimes) what is best today, is not necessarily “best” tomorrow. Instead we propose to explain what an amplified hard of hearing mobile phone should offer and let you choose the device that best meets your individual needs and requirements.
What Are Amplified Mobile Phones?
These may seem like many other mobile phones, but on further investigation you will find three key differences. The most apparent are increased voice volume level of the person on the other end of the line, increased ringer volume and finally better integration with digital hearing aids through the Telecoil compatibility settings.
Which Mobile Phone Is The Best For Me?
The answer will depend on your level of hearing loss and on your requirements from the device.
Whichever mobile phone you consider and if you are hard of hearing, take the time to evaluate the points above so that ‘best’ is the device that ticks all the right boxes for you. Another great option is to use Hearing Direct’s online feature comparison tool, which will quickly advise you on the most suitable options, available on our website, with just a few clicks.You are able to browse the devices according to your preferred price range, incoming voice volume and a list of most popular features. Alternatively you can browse our full range of Amplified Mobile Phones.
It might also be tempting and useful to have a look at the devices offered by some of the leading manufacturers, which have won reputable awards and prizes.
Doro, for example, is a company that has attracted many customers since its establishment in 2007 and just recently, in June 2013, reached a very impressive milestone of 4 million mobile phones sold. At HearingDirect you can find their Doro 6030 Clamshell Loud Mobile Phone, ward. The mobile phone’s main characteristic is the excellent usability, as well as essential features such as:
Another leading manufacturer of phones for the hard of hearing that has been providing amplified telephony since 1974 is Geemarc. One of their mobile phones is the Geemarc CL8500 Amplified Clamshell Mobile Phone. It is very intuitive to use due to the easy to navigate menu and a backlit keypad with large buttons. The receiving volume can be increased to up to 35dB. The phone also includes:
Another of our most popular mobile phones is the Amplicom PowerTel M6000 Big Button Mobile Phone.Which has received a lot of positive feedback. It will appeal to all looking for an excessively loud ringer volume (up to 100dB) and the maximum amplification of the receiving volume is 30dB. The device’s design makes the user experience very easy (big buttons and large display) and has several other important characteristics:
In 2012, Amplicomms launched an even louder device – the PowerTel M7000 Clam Shell Loud Mobile Phone, which offers up to 40dB amplification of receiving volume with less than 5% distortion.
