Panasonic New DECT 6.0 Cordless Phone Handset Accessory Talking Caller ID Compatible with KX-TGM450S Series Cordless Phone Systems - KX-TGMA45S (Silver)

My husband works for the Railroad & yrs ago, he had to fix a Horn that was stuck and lost some of his hearing... other home phones just weren't loud enough, where I had to talk for him ... I bought these specifically for the BOOST feature (for extra loudness)... this works well , now he has no trouble hearing any conversation . A few other things I love about these phones... the SLOW feature, when playing back a message -when someone is saying a return phone # too fast...you can SLOW it down and catch the #, without repeating the message again & again.. I also LOVE that it holds 100 names/ numbers in it's Phone book (last phone only held 50)... that it has a WHITE backlit display uses larger lettering, very helpful to read from a distance - has blinking red lights too...also goes a very nice distance from the house ... about 400 ft away, it's still working clearly from the house... Another feature I love is : you can set the phone to SPEAK the # each time it is pressed, so you "hear" it -- I have never seen this feature before on a phone. We use MAGIC JACK with this phone.. no problems at all.. works GREAT.. There is a blocking feature , I have no used this yet... it has a number of "Groups" you can list your names/ numbers under to help find them quicker... and you can designate a different RING to each group...which is also very nice! The handset itself is heavier & larger than what I was used to, but with all these wonderful features (& more I haven't explored yet)... I was compelled to write this review ... these phones are expensive.. but they are HIGH QUALITY & can really help those who want a larger clear display and need a boost in Hearing.

The large pronounced earcup like a old traditional phone is great. Has helped my mom hear phone calls much much better. Volume boost seems fine has not caused any distorting others mentioned and its nice and loud!. Shape of handset earpiece really helps be sure the phone is position on the ear properly. We replace a relatively new Panasonic that had a minimal "earcup" more like a tiny indent that mom struggled to get over her ear properly (that one had replaced a very old Panasonic that did have a more pronounced place for the ear like this amplified one now has and I had been very disappointed that the new sleeker design was difficult for her to position just right). As others have noted this handset is heavier than the regular Panasonic it replaced but improved the quality of phone calls a lot and my tiny mom is ok with it. It is nice to be able to have the boost set to be on all the time since mom is usually the only person using the phone but it is easy to turn it off for a call when a normal hearing person need to. Battery backup in the base so it works in a power failure is also a great addition. Tone at my end when receiving a call form this phone seems a bit different perhaps sort of flat, but its clear. Glad we got this phone calls with mom are much better!

3 week update - she figured it out in less than 2 days and absolutely loves it. She can now carry on those important calls with her health care professionals and her family. Thank you for a great product that is elderly friendly! I purchased this for a 95 year old client of mine after her hearing tool a turn for the worse. It's a bit of a learning curve for her since she's had the same phone for almost 20 years. I promised her that if she gives it a week, she will get accustomed to it. She is VERY happy with the sound and volume. She can now hear her doctors, her children, grand and great grand children on the phone again! I left 4 stars because I personally feel a few things could be different to make it more user friendly. When the answering machine picks up, the user cannot hear their recording playing out loud but can hear the person leaving a message. This confuses the new user who is used to knowing that someone is going to leave a message as they hear their recording play. The buttons are a bit hard to press for older and more fragile hands. The clarity is manageable with the tone buttons, but sometimes the reception of the person on the other end sounds like they are in a hole. Call blocking seems easy enough. If getting this for an elderly person, be sure to sit with them and make a hand written instruction page for them to see clearly. There are several functions that may confuse them. Show them the basics and focus on those basics. Value for the money is good compared to similar products.

My Dad loves the features and volume boost!

Works perfectly with my old Panasonic when one of the handsets stopped working.

Loud enough for those with hearing impairment. Wish they provided quality headphones as aftermarket headphones leave much to be desired. Text to voice announcements is appalling. CH is read as K which is acceptable for Christopher. Totally fails when trying to say Charles.

The one I purchased was returned cause my dad wanted the ability to hear it from outside while in the garden. This phone is amazing though. I was intrigued by all the features it offers.

I have completely dropped our home telephone (LandLine). My wife and I each have our cell phones attached (blue tooth) and with a base and two extensions we can answer and make calls from either cell phone any where in the house. The bonus is: this phone has a boost button that you can actually hear the person on the line. Perfect for the person who is hard of hearing where the amplifier actually works. Did I tell you that we save $ 40.00 per month NOT having the TELCO and a separate home phone - with taxes that is over $ 500.00 per year.

Funciona muy bien, mi teléfono anterior era de la misma marca y duró siglos, espero que este dure también.
