4.0 out of 5 stars Miraphone for hard of hearing, December 28, 2007

Great for hearing. Works with or without hearing aids. Good for bedside. Features are adequate, but identifying print is too small for old eyes, and many users of this equipment have failing eyesight also. Features are not easy to learn if you can't see the correct button. Also, backlighting the number buttons would be a help. However, primary intent of improved hearing is absolute.

Bought this for my mother-in-law who is 88. She is now able to hear her daughter on the phone, at least a little bit. Previously she could not hear anything. I don't really know how it works, but it does.

Bought for my father-in-law who is very hard of hearing. Even with hearing aides, it has been almost impossible to communicate with him over the phone for a number of years. With this phone he is able to hear everything said with no problem. Really an amazing technology. It has a built-in flasher to show when the phone is ringing but is too small to be noticeable so we bought a separate, larger flasher.
