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.

Phones for severe hearing loss:

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.
