There is an adjustment for volume in the speaker function. Just push the speaker function and adjust the volume using the up and down arrows.

It is a little louder than a person with normal hearing would need, but only a person who is mildly hearing impared would find it adequate.

Level of hearing problem varies for each individual. I myself have more than moderate hearing loss and have used only Panasonic phones for last 20 years; so I cannot compare them with other manufacturers. But I should say that the speaker loudness works for me.

Yes and yes. Quite loud, particularly if the initial recorded alarm is recorded'loudly'. I have high frequency hearing loss so I (male) make the recording(s)so everyone can hear them, even me, no problem.

It is a loud piercing whistle. Depending upon the extent of the hearing loss, I believe your grandmother should be able to hear it. The whistle certainly is the loudest I have ever heard.

When my wife uses them, I can't hear anything she's listening to and she listens to her music on fairly loud settings.

The volume on mine has been fine! I would think anything would be hard to hear if you have the window down!

I don't think the speaker will be able to pick up enough volume, but you could give it a test. Beat wishes.

It is very LOUD when set to the loud setting. I wear hearing aids and cannot hear the alarm when it's set to the low setting, And that's with my hearing aids! It's a shrill, loud sound.

No, I agree the volume is low but I was aware of that before I purchased based on previous reviews. Other the that its been a very good system.

I'm 69 & have slight hearing loss also, so says my wife anyhow. This system has a really nice speakerphone but also has a headphone jack on the handsets, so you can plug in an amplified headset if you need to right into the handset jack... just FYI... that is if the speakerphone ends up not loud enough, but it is pretty loud & very clear also.

My hearing loss is pretty bad. what I have done is place my timer on the countertop with nothing close by to absorb the vibrations, and therefore I can hear it just fine even with the wife listening to TV.I tested the signal while in the bedroom and was able to know it was running. It is small enough to put in my pocket if there are several people talking at once.

Amplification is good, but for my father in law...it's the clarity that is challenging. He does wear hearing aids & it does announce who is calling

It is loud enough to be heard over three noisy kids. With that said, your experience may be different. My wife and I think it is pretty loud. She normally sets it to the middle volume setting.

Yes it is loud enough... I had a party of about 75 and the volume wasn't turned up all the way and it projected very well. I got it for my daughter's 10th birthday but now we use it for everything. I love it

yea, I would say it is. the maximum volume on the device is pretty loud at best. Although sometimes the bluetooth audio cuts in and out sometimes for no reason. I've heard some people saying when they are using the speakerphone on it they also get the same cutting in and out.

Not on my unit. The volume when turned up is very loud. My wife who is hard of hearing keeps it somewhere in the middle range which is loud for me so most of the time she uses ear buds which blocks out the normal speakers..

Helen, unfortunately not. However I have no complaints with the speaker. The sound comes through fine for me.

It is louder than the other one I own which is a different brand. I can hear it beeping from another room but if you are hearing impaired I'm not sure - it is not high pitched or extremely loud.
