Panasonic 1 Handset Amplified Cordless Phone with Slow Talk, 40dB Volume Boost, 100dB Lound Visual Ringer, Hearing Aid Compatibility, Large Screen and Backlit Keypad, Link2Cell - KX-TGM430B (Black)

If you’re hard of hearing, this phone is your best answer. Very easy to navigate and I highly recommend it.

Works great all over the house, and is able to transfer a cell phone call to act if it is a local call.

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.

this phone is out of this world, it works great.

In 2017 my grandmother was in her early 90's began needing to spend time in hospital in the hospital and assisted living center for complex health conditions she had most of her life but became more delicate as she grew more mature.One of the newer but not unexpectedly issues was hearing and visual impairments. One of the aids we needed was a phone she could use. Our family has been long time Panasonic Cordless phone users for a long time so this is the model we chose.Set up of this device is going to be something most visually impaired love ones are going to need assistance with as the direction booklet although detailed it really isn't printed for those with visual issues of any kind. You also need to be rather nimble while programming. Luckily Had two of us there to help Santa Claus with the set up of her gift.She really liked it and P.T. & O.T. helped her learn where the different buttons were. She really liked it and used it everyday several times a day while away. However we quickly learned that this device and another Panasonic Cordless phone device in the same household doesn't work together even if you have them in separate phone jacks. Not certain why this was exactly. ISo it spent a fair amount of time in it's box unused until mid 2018 when it saw daily use for a few years. Hard of hearing and visual cued phones sure have come along way since the 1970s when my grandfather needed these being hearing impaired from birth. There was a constant hum from those. As I recall having picked up his phone a few times. When there was no call connected. Verses this phone where there is no sound until dialing or ringing.We would highly recommend this product for others who are in need of this type of aid.

I've only had my KX-TGM420 for about a week now. The volume and sound quality is an improvement over my previous Panasonic phone, which never gave me any issues other than clicks during calls and poor sound quality. This one dropped the second call I made mid-call while on speaker phone. The display just suddenly went blank and the call was lost. I could not turn it back on toggling the talk button but it came back on when I put it in the base unit. I re-dialed the dropped number and connected but the person on the other end could not hear me speak at all.The phone was fully charged and within 20 feet of the base unit. I ended using my cell phone to call him. I'm not sure what happened and a trip to the Panasonic site for help was totally useless. I typed a question and the site said the connection was refused or something like that. I tried various questions with the model # and didn't get any help. I like the phones features but if it's going to drop calls randomly from time to time it's going to have to be sent back. I have had two of these wireless DECT 6.0 phones over the years and NEVER had this issue. So I'll just go back to using my my older one with it's constant clicks during calls (that's one reason I bought a new phone) but ZERO drop issues. I can't believe there isn't any way to get any tech support from Panasonic. And it appears others experience this dropping issue as well so I'm not alone. I'm trying new batteries today and reconditioning the old ones but if this is random I might not know soon what the issue is. Looks like I'll just have a make a bunch of calls to determine if it's fixed with the battery conditioning. If only there was ANY tech support to help...can't believe that from a large company like Panasonic!
