Did you consider getting an extra loud phone?

Agree with Speedy, those phones are for old fogies and of little use to us "young" trendsetters who want all the bells and whistles of Internet Web Browsing, Twitter and Facebook Apps and many other features which modern phones provide now.
"Extra Loud Phones" are of no use to those of us who are profoundly deaf like myself. I cannot hear well enough to make or receive voice calls. I therefore have an app installed on mine which intercepts voice calls, hangs it up and immediately sends that caller a text message saying "You have called a deaf mobile phone user, please send a text message instead."
