To the hard of hearing user, finding the right phone or compatible device is extremely important to maximize clarity, minimize feedback and increase usefulness. A hearing aid and a telephone are "compatible" when they can connect to each other in a way that produces clear, easily-understood sound. There are many types of phones as follows. First are amplified telephones that work on the principle of hearing aid. If you have difficulty hearing the phone ring, there are phones available that not only amplify the ringer but also have a flashing light which indicates incoming calls and call waiting. Many phones allow the user to adjust the ring and speaking volume and provide optimum volume power.

Second are Telephone amplifiers which work the same way as a hearing aid. Telephone amplifiers are external components that are used with regular phones. There are some now that are cell phone compatible, which is of great benefit to those on the go. Earpieces and handsets are also popular form of hearing aid. They are very practical in that they are hands-free and because of their small size, they are portable. Some earpieces are able to plug into cell phone. Next in line are text phones. For the severely hearing impaired, there are text phones which allow the person to read text messages with the assistance of a relay line. Some text phones are lightweight and portable and some are also cell phone compatible.
