- It worked!
My parents are elderly & my father can use this phone. The buttons worked as they were supposed to on set-up. Very easy process. I was pleasantly surprised that it worked as easily as advertised.

- Great phone for elderly
I purchased this phone for my mother who is 89. It is perfect for her. It has large easy to see and easy to push numbers. The memory auto dial has the option of placing pictures of the person being called beneath the button, so she does not have to read a name or remember which number goes with which person. I have placed my picture and the picture of my two brothers each under a selected button and programed the respective button with the number for that person. Of course there is the autodial button to push for an emergency ~ it is lit at all times with a small red light. For the hard of hearing, there are a varity of settings for the ring volume and the handset volume (ear piece). In addition, when the phone rings a red light across the entire base of the phone flashes, alerting the hard of hearing person that the phone is ringing. The phone is solid,well made, easy to use and has a clear crisp sound for the listener. I would highly recommend this phone for the elderly, sight or hearing impaired, or a mentally/physically handicapped person who finds using a regular phone difficult.

- Clarification on the ringer volume
We bought this phone for our 4-year-old daughter, so that, if one of us is home alone with her and becomes incapacitated, she can call the other (or the police, or her grandparents) for help. (She knows numbers and has dialed phone numbers for us before, but, when we did a test run, we realized that it just takes too long for her to find the 10 digits;--and that was without the fear and panic of an actual emergency.)

Anyway, I was a little hesitant when I read the reviews that mentioned how loud the ringer is. When I took the phone out of the box, I was happy to see that I could turn the ringer off. If you or the person for whom you're buying the phone has other phones in the house and doesn't have to rely on this phone's ringer, turning off the ringer may be a good option.

I've only had the phone for a matter of hours, so I can't speak to its longevity or quality. About all that I can say is that it was easy to set up and program. There's a warning label on the receiver about how loud the voices are. I've only tried it with the volume knob slid all the way to the lowest setting, and, at that setting, it's not too loud for the non-hearing impaired.

- One extremely stupid and serious flaw.
Both the ringer volume and the handset volume are adjustable. So far, so good. However, the ringer volume adjustment permits you to adjust the volume from extremely jarring to fire-alarm levels. My mother has difficulty understanding conversations because of the lack of clarity of nearly all phones (why can't phone manufactuers put a few more cents into the speaker instead of loading on so many features that you can hardly figure out how to use the phone? Another stupidity). This phone does indeed have better clarity than your average phone. Amplification however is no better than the 'high' setting on a normal phone. I would recommend one of the higher amplification models of this phone IF you or your loved one is so hard of hearing that they can bear the over-loud and extremely jarring sound of the ringer.

I called the company incidentally and discovered that Clarity/Ameriphone makes 30 phones for the hearing impaired. EVERY one of them has the same, excessively loud ringer, they advised me. My mother takes a few rings before she can pick up the phone. I can't in good conscience subject her to this phone's ringer. (I don't want to give her a heart-attack when I give her a call) What stupid engineering! I have to confess to being really angry right now about this stupidity. It would be so easy to remedy this situation - after all, there is a ringer adjustment; only problem is there is no moderate level. Unfortunately, I have to return this phone. Be advised.

- OK for some users
The photo speed-buttons are a great idea. But the buttons should accommodate larger photos for visually impaired users. Also the amplification on this model is too weak for someone with moderate hearing loss; the P400 model would be more suitable for those users. Some manufacturer is going to figure all this out some day. Maybe they will get real smart and combine it with speaker-phone (feedback challenges) and answering machine features -- even cordless for facilities that are not conveniently wired. GizmosForLife was great about returning the unit.
