Owned this phone before and thought I knew what I was getting but BT in there wisdom had changed the way it operated and as my husband wears 2 hearing aids he could no longer set the volume to the level required.(Had to purchase the Geemarc Ambipower50 far superior unit excellent amplification for deaf).

Just purchased this for my Mum who's 80, and a Parkinson's sufferer. The feature which attracted me was the AMPLIFICATION. Out of the box, first impressions are "this is huge"! It's almost twice the size of a normal phone. But then it is called "Big"! Buttons are what it says on the tin - big too!
Now to the amplification. You have ability to set INcoming and OUTgoing amplification via a binary switch on the BASE of the unit. I immediately set it to IN and then increased volume to highest via front volume+/- switch. Then I flipped to OUTgoing and did the same. Now wouldn't you expect those setting to remain in place so my Mum would have to change them? Well they don't. You can only set one at a time and they revert to default of lowest volume setting at end of call! So, whilst my Mum can increase amplitute of her voice with relative ease, if she wants to inc amplitute of incoming caller, she needs to flip over this brick sized phone, flip a small switch,
turn phone back and inc volume! Ridiculous.
Aside from that, I can't fault the phone. So would have been 5 stars if the amplification had been more functional.

I got one of these telephones for my parents a while back, as I was fed up and worried that whenever I tried to ring them, they never seemed to answer the phone. (No they didn't think I was a salesperson, as how would they know who it was, as there old phone had no number to show who was calling). Now if you don't live nearby and still get no answer from them for a day or so, you do tend to worry if all is well.
I looked at all the different types phones in various shops and the internet, and this one came up as not all being the most suitable but also not too pricey.
The ring tone is nice and loud, it is adjustable and I found that the highest setting was more than ample. (Even with the tv on a high volume, what it is with older people and the volume, I don't know, we can hardly hear ourselves speak over the tv, but they still say it isn't quite loud enough. With this phone it really does make it impossible to miss hearing it ring. Plus there is also a light which flashes when the phone rings.
The other thing which is good is that they are less likely to dial the wrong number (as the buttons are a nice big size even for someone with biggish fingers (down to swelling etc) no getting numbers next to each other mixed up. Plus the number you dial also comes up on the top of the phone so you can double check that you have dialed the right number.
It is hearing aid compatible which is another plus for a lot of older people.
I can say hand on heart that since this phone was bought a call hasn't been missed.
Just wished I had bought one of these before for them.
