I think we should start a topic about this. My landline portable is ATT Cordless answering system crl32202 but it is not HA compatible. My other landline phone is a ATT trimline. Also not HA compatible. Every phone I tried that was listed as HA compatible just emitted a buzz whenever I set my HA to the T coil feature.

I was never very satisfied with my cordless phones. Last year my audiologist signed me up with Caption Call which in this area (western Massachusetts) provides and installs a free landline phone with a free captioning service. I only pay the monthly cost for a regular phone line. The phone works well - it's easy to adjust the volume, the captioning comes in handy, and it doesn't seem to cause problems with my HAs. It's not cordless though.

@robinraig My hearing aids do not have a telecoil, I would be looking for a landline phone that is Bluetooth compatible. Is it possible that the ones you listed might be compatible with Bluetooth but not with a telecoil?
@davekoh I agree with the others, a cochlear implant may be the answer for you. Your problem is more severe than mine, but I can definitely sympathize. I know how frustrating and isolating it can be to not be able to hear what is being said.
