This phone adequate for hearing impaired such as myself, however, for ease of use and programing of regularly called numbers it could use some work. I was replacing a caller ID phone with this one only because i couldn't hear the callers. It was a much easier phone to use.

This phone is more than loud enough, that's for sure. It also has all the features you would expect, except for one whose absence renders the phone almost useless. I'm referring to a simple mute button. Let's say you're talking and you have to cough or clear your throat. No mute button, so you put your hand over the mouthpiece to muffle the sound. Well, if the boost is on (which is why you bought the phone in the first place), covering the mouthpiece results in immediate, ear-piercing feedback, which both you and the other party can hear. How could a phone that has all the bells and whistles be missing a mute button? How much would it have added to the price of the phone, $1?? So now I'm having to order a headset simply because it has a mute button. But guess what? The phone has a 2.5mm headset jack, which is typical for a cellular phone, but not a regular phone. So your choices for headsets are severely limited. The manual recommends the Plantronics M110, but that's a monaural headset, not binaural, which I prefer. It's also been discontinued. I just ordered a headset from amazon, but the ad strangely doesn't specify a brand or model number. It does say it's been discontinued, so it might be the M110. Either way, it's ridiculous to have to do all this just to have a mute button. I wish I would have returned the phone and gotten a regular phone with a mute button and a good binaural headset, which would have allowed me to hear just as well as the boost feature.

This phone was not good for what I needed it for. It was for a hearing impaired person and the quality of the tone was inferior even to a regular phone. I sent it back. This phone may have been defective but it was of no use to me.

Under no circumstances should you buy from ANTonline!! My Clarity C2210 was shipped to me defective. They (ANT) offer no exchanges. I had to pay the return shipping ($9.70) and when they received it I got charged a "restocking" fee (for a defective product) to the tune of $27!!! My original charge for the phone was $91.24. Doing the simple math. It cost me $36.70 plus my time and gas to ship it back and I got NOTHING, Do not buy from ANTOnline. Their customer service has an attitude also. One note. Amazon did help me in this matter and I would buy directly from Amazon anytime.

I'm completely satisfied with this telephone. I have three of these phones. One of which has taken quite a beating (its in a workshop) and still works great. I have had no problems with them at all. I have an 80% hearing loss and can use these phones as if I have have no loss at all. My husband has excellent hearing and my other hearing impaired phones annoyed him, this telephone is so easy to use he doesn't have any problems with it either. Completely satisfied and would definitely recommend to anyone thinking of purchasing a home phone, whether they were hearing impaired or not.

I have been hearing impaired for most of my life and have had other special phones specifically designed to hear better. This phone was excellent for my needs.............as a matter of fact, I ordered two more because my dog ruined my first one and I was lost without it. It is so easy to adjust the sound for your needs especially to hear people who talk very softy over the phone. Also, the ringer adjustments are very easy to control to whatever level you can hear best. I would reccomend this phone to those who have trouble hearing people talking to them and yet at the same time feel comfortable in using this phone. I also like having the Caller ID system so I know who is calling ahead of time and this is easy to read as well.

This is the worst phone. First off it didn't ring. Second the phones light blink 24/7. The sound quality isn't the greatest and the boost doesn't do much. I wouldn't waste the money.
