Doro Magna 4000 Corded Home Phone for the Elderly with Audio Boost Button and Display (Black)

High quality phone . Very good for anyone who is hard of hearing and easy to alter volume for both ringing and speaking and listening to whoever calls. The keys are large and clear which is useful .

Pratico per persone anziane che non hanno bisogno di troppa tecnologia. Lettura dei numeri entrati, previo contratto con il gestore del servizio (lettura numero non è automatica o gratuita)

Needed a phone that was easy to use and had a loud ringer as well as a boost to make quiet calls louder. An this does everything just he careful not to press the boost button by accident when you're on phone and don't need it. My ears were ringing for a fair whole after 😂

Bought this for a 91 year old who needs an amplifier on her phone due to being extremely deaf even with hearing aids. She'd previously been using an old BT one (almost 30yrs old!) with amplifier. This phone is fantastic - not only does it have a very good amplifier but there's also a volume switch to increase the sound further. At the moment she only uses the volume to number 3 and it goes up to 9 so there's further capacity for if/when her hearing deteriorates further. She's been using the phone for a month now and I'm pleased to say it's working fantastically well. The phone isn't cheap but when you calculate the cost of trying cheaper ones (and possibly failing) it works out good value for money. Would wholeheartedly recommend it!!!

This Doro 4000 Magna phone was bought for a hearing-impaired 91-year old. The phone has an extra amplification (boost) button that when pressed amplifies the sound of the call. When the boost button is pressed the caller’s voice is amplified but the receiver’s voice is virtually muted at the caller’s end. The caller hears just a very faint trace of the receiver’s voice. This makes two-way conversation effectively impossible. It’s worth noting that the User Manual says “It is only possible for one person at a time to talk when the Boost Button is activated.” If the recipient of a call were to press the Boost button only when the caller is speaking and to release the button when they want to speak this issue wouldn’t be a problem. However, it means the Boost button is useless for deaf users with cognitive impairment, such as dementia. Although the design of the phone has a fault, Amazon’s returns service is faultless. It is simplicity itself to return an item; there was no quibble and the refund was received promptly.
