There are MANY different types and degrees of hearing loss. Because a phone works for one person does not mean it will work for another. There are various differences in tone and clarity that must be matched to the users needs. The only proven way to do this is to try the phones on a "real" call. PACE and other selection centers throughout the state are set up to help you do this.
You must visit a Selection Center like PACE to make the best choice for YOU.
