When looking for the best cordless phones for hard of hearing one thing to ask yourself….is the hearing loss mild, moderate or severe? 

Phones for mild or moderate hearing loss:

If you are experiencing mild or moderate hearing loss, look for phones which range from 30 dB – 40 dB of amplification. Also, look for the ‘M Rating’ for hearing aid compatibility. The M rating varies from one to four with four being the best compatibility. A higher rating means better noise reduction. 

If you have severe hearing loss, then look for phones which are 50 dB of amplification or higher. Again, look for the “M” rating on these. If the hearing aid has a T-switch (telecoil), then the sound coming in will be enhanced. Tele coils direct sound to the hearing aid’s processor without employing the microphone. It can enhance the signal-to-noise ratio while eradicating the possibility for feedback. 

If you are searching online for a landline cordless amplified phone, you will want to ensure that the model you are purchasing is marked as HAC. This is applicable for both corded cordless phones.
