Default Phone volume

I'm looking at prepaid cell phone plans, trying to figure out how to
evaluate their volume levels, and how well they'll work with hearing
aids. At least with a landline phone, I can try it out without having
to pay someone for the privilege. Is there any way to do this with a
cell phone, or Is there a web site somewhere that's performed these
evaluations? Thanks!

Try phone mfr's website for tech specs, a hearing aid mfr's website for
compatibility ratings, a hearing-impaired advocacy website or someplace like
Howard forums.

Also don't forget that Google is your friend. Searching on "cell phone
hearing aid compatibility" returned a bucket of good sites.

You can always go into the store and they will let you talk on a phone
of your choice for free. Or you can buy one, try it, and return it
within 15 days and you only pay for the up till the time its returned.

My advice is to take the 15days, try it not only for the hearing aid
deal, but to see if it works in your area.

Does this include the prepaid plan phones that I could then purchase
at Target or Walmart or wherever?

I don't shop at Target or Martial so I don't know. Being your talking
about a prepaid plan again. Don't know. But reading on how Walmart gives
refunds, take it back if you don't like it.
