So far so good i hear pretty good on it with very little to no feedback. I was able to try it out with my hearing aids in the att store.

Thanks

Hi all … I just discovered this website today and it’s nice to find out that I am not the only frustrated cell phone user. I wear digital Phonak BTE’s state-of-the-art aids and am severely to profoundly HI. I’m a Verizon user but leaning toward AT&T … 3 yrs ago (when RAZR’s first came out) my husband (normal hearing) and I spent a lot of money to buy them. Of course I couldn’t hear a thing! Back to the store and wound up spending more money for a reconditioned Motorola. Now in the mkt. for a new phone since the old one is no longer holding much of a charge.

Has anyone ever tried the cell phone for HI made by CLARITY? I found it online for $185 and you take it to your provider and they insert a SIM card. I hate to spend that kind of money without being able to try it first! I do have CLARITY’s amplified land line phone and it’s great (to 50db) so I can hear w/o my aids.

I purposely put the date since it’s impossible to know how old posts are otherwise. I’ve been wearing aids since I’m 42 and am 70 now … sometimes I think the old analogs were less troublesome!

Thanks all for sharing.
Ann

Their phone number is (408) 974-2042.

I need a calendar/ detailed contacts; as I run my own business & nextel isn’t cutting it. LOL

Works well; Slight adjustments to be made to hear clearer; moving the piece behind your ear up or down to match with your BTE.. I was also looking at iphones; and asked the clerk if they were hearing aid compatable; an she nonshalantly said “oh yeah!!”.. I browsed and browsed and never found a “setting” for hearing aids. So today I am researching deeply about it and the black berry curve; as I have BTE in both ears. I will let you know what I find!

I am totally deaf in one hear and profoundly deaf in the other. I use a phonak digital HA and I’ve found the two best cell phones are the Razor and the Rumor. I prefer the telecoil mode as I can tune out the world and hear only the phone. The Razor is a flip and easier to hold. The rumor I like because of the texting. (At 44 years old – Im loving to text!) So each for me was a good choice. I have not yet experienced the loop – blue tooth – FM… They now have come out with a water resistant HA (phonak) which is on my list to try. As for the Iphone. I tried it in the store and it failed. I could not hear on it in any mode. I was very disapointed. Im sticking with Sprint.
