Amplicomms Bigtel 40 - Big Button Phone for Elderly - Loud Phones for Hard of Hearing which are Hearing Aid Compatible Phones - Corded Big Number Telephone - Dementia Aid Phone for Elderly

REally good item for my mum with Dementia, easy to set up, nice and loud, good item all round

Perfect phone for my 95 year old father.Easy to use big buttons,volume control for ringing and also for listening. Flashing light for very hard of hearing.Arrived on time and very good value for money.

Got this phone for my elderly dad who wears hearing aids and it had a light which flashed when phone rings and also can program numbers on phone snd put pictures in the phone so that he could call the family ring adjustable and easy to use.

Bought this for grandma, all she has to do is poke the button with a face and it will dial that person.Of course it needs to be set-up correctly, and pictures taken to fit inside the buttons.

I don't want to leave a bad review as it was good at first but I bought this for my dad, he's had it 3 months and it's stopped working already but there is no way of contacting the seller to try and solve the problem

This is such a good phone. I have an elderly relative who struggles using her mobile phone and the current home phone as they are quite small/fiddly. I bought this for her and it was very easy to set up. Now all she has to do is press the photo of the person she wants to call.I don't think this is significantly louder though (even after pressing the +40db button).

Needed a phone for someone who is occasionally rather hard of hearing.I was only able to test this once and I was disappointed by the volume that comes through.(I admit my test was flawed in that I was on my mobile, rang through to this phone and was speaking to myself, two phones on either side of my head.)It sounded echoy when speaking, adjusting the volune made it have a bit of that inference screech come through. I have no idea how it would sound if you had a hearing aid.And now onto my main reason for the bad review (and immediate return). The biggest selling points were the loud volume and one-key dialling.The set up was fine. (Though the phone's plastic casing of the handheld receiver had come apart but I just pushed it closed so it was flush again, not broken.)The programming of the 1-key dialling was simple. I followed the instructions. It did not work. At all.It didn't memorise any numbers and it gave no feedback that it even recognised that you pressed a button.Trying to find reliable products for the disabled and eldery is a nightmare and it's abhorrent that companies so easily scam you with shoddy products that don't deliver on the most basic functions that they promise to deliver.We have had stereo speaks for decades, how hard is it to put a good quality speaker in the phone so that the partially deaf can hear you when you are literally shouting down the phone at them (only because they couldn't hear you when you loudly enunciated "Hello!" 10 times in a row.) It's frustrating.I don't want to have to shout at my eldery relatives just so that they can hear me on the phone.

The volume was not as lod as I had hoped for my partially deaf elderly father to hear easily - but he uses the speed dial buttons very well. He can now quickly contact the family on their mobiles which has been invaluable for allowing him to contact us all quickly - this function was so much easier for him and he uses it all the time now. :-) He does n't have to look up long mobile numbers from an address book - we've tried him with a mobile but that was not successful unfortunately.
