How a Hearing Impaired Phone Can Help Grandma

The hearing impaired phone have come a long way from the early telephone that Alexander Graham Bell invented. Today these phones are valuable devices created for the use of the hearing impaired community.

A hearing impaired phone has a lot of advantages to those elderly who have trouble hearing or even those who are non-seniors who have hearing problems. It allows them to communicate their thoughts to both the hearing and hearing impaired world effectively.

To be able to connect to another human being and communicate effectively is an important human activity. Many studies have shown that any degree of hearing loss affects how people communicate with each other in both personal and professional levels resulting to marred relationships.

On a personal level this is the reason why couples resent each other or why grand kids stop speaking to their grandparents. In the workplace no wants to have to repeat what was said again and again.

If this is what Grandma and the rest of the family is going through then let a hearing impaired phone do wonders for her. So how exactly does this help Grandma and for that matter the whole family?

First, Grandma will benefit from the amplification level which is one of the basic features of this phone. Depending on the manufacturer, model, and make of the phone, the incoming call volume and the ringer volume can be amplified up to 90 decibels.

Therefore if Grandma has mild to moderate hearing loss, she can use models that have lower levels of amplification or higher if the problem is severe. Lesser missed calls if ever there are.

Second benefit is tone adjustment this is because some people with hearing problems also have problems with hearing tones. Meaning they have difficulty hearing high or low pitched sounds.

If grandma has a phone which has tone adjustment, she can accordingly adjust the sound to suit her needs thus she can enjoy hours of talking on the phone with you in exactly how you should be heard.

If Grandma is wears hearing aids she will benefit from this special phone because most models are now designed to be hearing aid compatible. Historically, those who are hard of hearing had problems using the telephone because of the feedback that's created as the user holds the telephone to his ear.

What's nice with hearing aid compatibility is that Grandma might not need to adjust volume or tone anymore.

Another great function of a hearing impaired phone is the ability to be able to switch to speakerphone without affecting clarity. This function will benefit Grandma if she easily tires of holding the handset or if she has dexterity issues.

Cordless phones are even better because she can conveniently bring the handset with her as she putters about the house. Most models of this phone come with visual ringers which blink when there is a call.

Now that you have read all the reasons, you go now and gift grandma with a hearing impaired phone and enjoy once again those days when you and her shared stories to each other.
