OH is a little hard of hearing and doesn't seem to hear his phone ring in his pocket, either calls, messages or Whats App. The volume is at the highest level on the Samsung. Can anyone recommend an app or some other means of increasing the volume please.

Put it on vibrate?
For listening to calls put it on loudspeaker and hold it away from head. |

Yes, it is on vibrate. He can hear fine with the loudspeaker, etc or when he is talking without the loudspeaker on a call; just can't hear it ring to answer it initially.

Have changed the ringtones. The maximum volume on that phone seems much less than mine. When mine rings in my bag, he can hear it. When his rings in his pocket, he often doesn't.

Sounds like my problem too. I was at the docs for the usual 6 mo pills and mentioned this problem, he wrote an ordonnance to see the audio specialist. Got tested, checked the ridiculous cost would be covered by the mutuaal and obtained a pair of hearing aids. Brilliant things, I hear the birds now and it connects bluetooth to my phone and Ipod for music. I think the phone comes through to them, but as I don't have any friends, I never get called. I certainly can hear if the phone rings. |

An ordonnance for an audio specialist is our next step. I did try to put a volume booster app onto his phone but it didn't seem to make any difference.

I don't want to upset the cart but have you raised the volume on all the possible settings. I do not use a moby, but I have noticed that there are at least four volume levels available on the OH's 'phone: Media vol, Call vol, Ring vol and Alarm vol. |

Hi, thanks for all the info - yes I went through his settings and put everything on maximum volume. Going back to the volume booster app which I found when googling, it seems I hadn't put that at the highest volume so thought it made no difference. He adjusted it himself and now he can certainly hear the phone! Thanks again.

I always have to put it on loud speaker for conversations. Also does it work for laptops? The volume is only good on mine through headphones. |

All the rings appear to be louder. I don't know about laptops.

I just googled to get some suggestions and this one came up from the PlayStore on Android. I don't
know anything about iphones.
