Hearing Aid Compatible Phone - HELP!

GuinnessGirl_2

Hello, I am not sure where to post this so I thought I would start here and see where I end up! I need to locate a fixed line phone for my mother who has an NHS issue hearing aid. She (thinks she) would prefer a cordless one and one with big buttons as her eye sight isn't particularly great. I am not sure where to look other than on the BT website and that seems very expensive. I am not sure if she would benefit from analogue or digital as at the moment she takes her hearing aid out to use the telephone. Any useful suggestions regarding experience with this would be much appreciated, thank you very much.

I was looking at that and comparing the features with the F60 [url=hhttp://www.deafequipment.co.uk/Qstore/Qstore.cgi?CMD=011&PROD=1049217092] here[/url]. She really doesn't know what she wants though so I was hoping for some words from experience I will re-post on that other thread.

I've also put this on the I wanna thread about phones for people with hearing problems.

"I found myself in the local Social Services office the other day and on display was a leaflet about what they could offer people with impaired hearing. I wouldn't hold your breath for any direct help unless the loss is very sudden and very severe or otherwise causing major problems, BUT the leaflet had lots of local contact details for organisations who might be able to advise. So for that reason it could be worth contacting local Social Services and asking what they are aware of or can offer."
