Thank you, Julie. I've been looking online at the Panasonic 4 handset cordless phone with amplified volume, 3 band equalizer, and other talking features that look interesting. It is telecoil compatible. Does this sound like something good for an older woman living alone with hearing loss? I also ck'd the links you sent re loops and telecoils, so I'll chat with the folks at Mayo at that appt re hearing aids.
Thanks for the hearing aid links. I've read the ones from Mayo with 3 or 4 different aids. I'll ck this out. Other recommendations?
Thanks again for your help. I'm tired and heading to bed. It's 9 here, getting late for me since I've had a recovery few days from a little procedure monday. be well, be blessed. elizabeth

Phones are labeled with an M/T rating. M is for microphone; T is for telecoil. The highest rating would be M4/T4. That means that a phone has both a strong microphone and a strong telecoil. Many people say the 3 rating works well enough. Best to try before you buy whether it's a landline phone or a cell phone. Often the sales people don't have a clue about what this all means. YOU have to be assertive. Don't feel guilty about that You have a right to try the technology before you buy it. It would be wise to get the hearing aids first, and try the phones during your hearing aid trial period. .
