Why is this not suitable for the hearing impaired?

The watch is not suitable for the hearing impaired because the alarm in not particularly loud. My husband, whose hearing is only slightly impaired, usually ignores the alarm. I am the one who is alerted when the alarm goes off - so it works for us.

Mom is somewhat hearing impaired and wears hearing aids. If she is wearing the watch on her wrist, she can definitely hear the alarm go off. But sometimes she just puts the watch in her pocket. In that case, most of the time she does not hear the alarm. I can hear it from across the room when it is in her pocket, but she can't. I think the alarm is fairly loud but not super loud. As far as I know, it does not have a vibrate feature.

Because it doesn't have the vibrating alarms needed for deaf people. If you can't hear the beeps, it's useless. Hope that helps.

Since I am not hearing impaired that would be hard for me to answer since I hear just fine.

I have trouble hearing. I found no sound system as effective as my hearing aid which I use to watch television.

It's pretty high pitched. You might have a problem if your hearing doesn't handle high frequencies.

It can be played but it is barely audible. I sent mine back because of that. Good question.

I do not know the answer to the question. What I do know, is that without this instrument, I would be lost trying to communicate by phone. I have to use hearing aids to communicate with other people, and this gadget makes it possible to talk by phone. The amplification is adjustable, while in use, and I have yet to turn the amplification on full blast.

Response is based on the quality of the signal source, not the connections. Everyone's ears (and brain) hear differently. As a senior citizen (and then some), volume solved a great deal of problems.

we use this as a hearing aid for members that can't hear.if it is pluged into a interperter's amp, i think it would work fine.

I haven't had any issues with it. It's clear and loud enough for me. I'd assume with your hearing aids you wouldn't have an issue.

I have mild hearing loss and the Sennheiser makes it easier to listen to many tv programs. If the dialogue is rather low, this may assist the wearer to understand what is happening. It may not be the solution for someone who has a bad hearing impairment.

The use of the Williams Sound is more effective for people whose hearing aids don't help to communicate because of distortion and and not able to hear words clearly. This gadget is ideal for communicating one to one person in hearing disable individuals where hearing aids are useless. I am candidate for coclear implants as a last resource and with the Williams Sound I am able to have conversations and understand them. I don't think it will be useful for listening TV. I still have to depend on captions or subtitles when watching TV.

I just saw the other answer. I just tested it, and it is true you cannot adjust the volume. It is at a pretty good level volume anyway, but you cannot adjust it.

Why would you ask about MOST hearing aides unless you are a professional dealing with many different hearing aides. I am simply a user and have only one kind of hearing aid. So unless you ask about a specific brand I am unable to be of help,

I only have moderate hearing loss so turning the volume up all the way would be too loud for me. I have read other reviews on this where some people couldn't hear with the volume high but that's because they had bad hearing loss, maybe it's the headphones and you should mail them back and try a new pair. I get no static in these headphones but my friend does. I'd try mailing it back and trying another unit.

I am not sure it would be loud enough for folks with hearing issues, but it is as loud as my older system, if that helps.

I found this hearing device to be unsatisfactory for my use. First let me say that I am hearing impaired, can't hear much from my right ear and have a hearing aid in my left ear. The device does amplify and helps but it loses the signal very easily. You cannot go into another room or you lose the signal and sometimes if you even turn your head, you lose the signal. I ended up returning it and getting the Sennheiser 840 device. i do not have that problem with it and it does help with hearing. I can also use it with my hearing aid in. Hope that helps.

It MUST have at least one -- preferably more -- for noise cancellation. But it is probably not usable for conversation by the user.
