Not hearing Call phone... what options do I have?

[Guest guest]

Hello

Im finding it harder now to use my cell phone. I just cant hear on it at all

if im out. if im at home I have to turn off my fan and air conditioner. Now

that the confusion with ODSP is cleared up im going to make a new

appointment with my Audiologist about getting new hearing aids but what cell

phones or products similar to cell phones are out there that are good for

people with hearing imparement. Actualy I find the screen too small to read

but mostly the cell phone is so I would have something to use to be safe and

call if I ever needed help. Its too hard to have a conversation over my cell

phone cause its too quiet on the cell even with speaker phone wich if I

switch to speaker phone my phone sounds like a crackly microphone.

I am interested in knowing what options there is for people with hearing

loss. I use my right ear to talk as I can hear higher pitch but not the

lower frequencies. my left ear has less hearing but the low frequencies are

better then the high frequencies. I can hear people speaking better if they

are on my right side.
