I have two hearing impaired users who were just issued VVX410s.  In looking at the specs for this model, the handset is supposed to be hearing aid compatible, however the users report they are having difficulty hearing conversations.  Both users are in a factory setting with background noise.   They are asking for a handset with  built in volume controls.  I have two questions for Polycom: 

1. Is there a way to optimize the built in hearing aid/coil?

2.  is there a Polycom compatible handset that we could order that has built in volume control?

Thanks!

Hello jenfsnyder,

welcome to the Polycom Community.

All Polycom handsets are Hearing Aid Compatible (HAC) and have telecoils that magnetically couple to most forms of wearable hearing aids per FCC section 508 (compliant to ADA Section 508 Recommendations: Subpart B 1194.23).

 

More details can be found => here <=

 

I am not aware that we manufacture or sell any other handsets and the phone itself can adjust the volume.

Hi Steffen

 

The link above no longer works and we have a hearing-impaired customer asking about this. Are you able to link to the updated documentation please? 

 

Thanks

Many thanks, I'd actually found that document after posting.

 

I was wondering if you could clarify something, we can see that the VVX 600 appears to be included in the list of devices that are HAC supported. I can't see anything that suggests it is a configurable option. Is this correct, and if so, is it the case that the unit should just work with compatible hearing aids "out of the box"?

 

Thanks again
