Basic phone for hearing impaired ?

Last edited Fri Aug 6, 2021, 12:53 PM - Edit history (1)

I am looking for suggestions on a basic landline phone for someone who is hearing impaired.
Just for making and receiving phone calls.

I've looked at sites online.
Hoping for some personal experience.

Appreciate all helpful suggestions.
Thanks

My daughter, who has lost about 75% of her hearing and I talk using FaceTime. Not only can she then read my lips, but she also has a close caption app that writes out what I say, in real time. She tried most phones, but they didn’t work for her.
