I can hear just fine but am visually impaired, would you reccomend? Also does it have a speakerphone button? Does it have a flash button for when someone is calling you?

This phone has a speakerphone button and it flashes when someone is calling. however, I do not suggest you buy this phone. I bought it and it worked fine for about a month, then it broke. Since it passed the one-month return policy, I could not return it but had to throw it away.

Vicki, I would say you should have no problem with answering this phone. The buttons are a bit larger than "normal" buttons (My mother can't see the buttons too well) I do not remember if it indeed does have a speaker phone button-sorry to say..I am sure you can access the phone specifics on Amazon to check. Yes it does have a flash button to let you know when another person is calling-if you are referring to flash being call waiting. If you are referring to flash as in light the bottom of the phone has a red light that will flash when the phone rings. My problem with this phone is the speaker phone it does have it amplified however it distorts it making it very difficult to understand the caller. Otherwise the phone is alright. . You have gone from a person whom does not hear well to a visually impared.

I find the speaker phone is OK as long as you don't set the volume at maximum. If you do, it distorts sound. I have not used the conference phone function.

The phone can be answered by either the touch screen on the front or open up and hit OK button to answer. If your Dad is anything like my mom I probably would not recommend this phone as the touch screen locks itself to prevent butt dialing and so you have to unlock before you can answer it. If you open up the phone to answer you can set it to automatically be on speaker which is great for anyone with hearing aids. I love the keyboard for texting which is the main reason I've held out so long in upgrading to the new tech savvy phones.

My mom is pretty deaf. She can hear this phone ring and it also lights up like a Christmas tree when it rings. That being said she cannot hear a thing when she tries to talk on the phone

It makes a tolerable speakerphone. I haven't used it extensively as a speakerphone, but haven't experienced any problems with it when using the speakerphone function.

The speaker phone is in the handset. This is a good phone for hearing-it cups your ear a bit so it doesn't pick up much background noise.

I routinely use the speaker phone and have not encountered any complaints from callers. On my end the sound is clear. I have had the phones for a couple years now and am very happy with my purchase.

Yes, there is a speakerphone function, but I find it handier to use a bluetooth headset instead. Much handier and you can leave the phone in your pocket.

I have answered many phone calls and the caller has been able to hear me quite clearly. I am usually outside with my UE Boom. So running in to answer the call and realizing I can hear, say my sister, saying hello from the porch is no less entertaining. I wouldn't recommend it for private conversations LOL.. but you can totes carry it around and have no issue with clarity. I love this thing.

The phone actually has two controls for volume. One is to control the decibel level and the other controls the tone (treble vs. bass). As I am severely hearing impaired, this is a real plus.

The tone quality is good and the volume of the caller's voice can be increased, with a push of a button, during the call. So I would say this phone could be suitable for someone with a moderate hearing loss. If the person's hearing loss is severe, then one of the phones that type out what the caller is saying on a display screen might be required.

I also have some hearing loss. There are times I wish. It had more volume but for the most part it is adequate. I have this phone system connected to my internet router and VOIP adapter. Sound volume may be better if connected to a POTS...Plain Old Telephone System. Handsets need to be located equa distant from base set or you have dropped calls. I hope this helps.

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.

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.

It is (qualified)crap!! The only place that I can use it is through my car. On it own, you can't hear a call and others report that it has a background noise that drowns out your speech. I have not tried it with a head ear piece thingy. There is no instruction book and it took forever for me to happen upon my contacts loading. The internet processing is very slow. With all that said, if you just need something temporarily it will suffice. For me, I was waiting to find a digitizer to replace the screen for my Dell Venue phone as I did not want another contract or to drop 500 to 600 for an unlocked phone. Good luck.

On speaker phone ppl say they can hear themselves talking. But I don't use speaker phone much. And that's the only problem I have ever had! And yea the buttons work great, the case is really tight fit so it's like the phone doesn't even have a screen protector on it! The home button works fine for me.
