Ok some very good news and some bad news – this landline telephone is amazing at connecting your landline phone to your hearing aids, via the free Panasonic SmartPhone Connect App, seamlessly whilst also connected to your mobile phone, and also whilst allowing others to use the landline – no hearing aid manufacturer offers this.
The bad news – this phone is now discontinued by Panasonic!! – but you can still find them in stock in some places online – try John Lewis and ebay.
These phones are great for hearing landline phonecalls with ease and clarity.

In the world of communication technology, the Panasonic KX-PRW120 stands out as a remarkable innovation, especially for those using hearing aids. At Crystal Hearing, we understand the importance of clear, accessible communication for everyone. This is why we’re excited to explore how this phone, in combination with the Panasonic Smartphone Connect app, can be a game-changer for hearing aid wearers.
The Panasonic KX-PRW120 is more than just a standard landline phone. It’s a modern, feature-rich device designed to cater to the diverse needs of its users. With its sleek design and intuitive interface, it offers a premium experience. But what truly sets it apart is its compatibility with hearing aids and its seamless integration with the Panasonic Smartphone Connect app.
The Smartphone Connect app is a revolutionary feature that allows users to link their mobile devices with the KX-PRW120. This connectivity provides several benefits:
Hearing aid compatibility is a critical aspect of the Panasonic KX-PRW120. Your hearing aids must be ASHA (Android) or MFi (iPhone) compatible.
Here’s how it stands to benefit hearing aid users:
Imagine being able to answer your landline calls directly from your smartphone, adjusting the settings to suit your hearing needs, and enjoying clear, uninterrupted conversations. The Panasonic KX-PRW120 makes this a reality for hearing aid users.
Here is a summary from the client of ours who found these and suggested them:
In my case I use a Samsung S10e. This pairs directly with both of my Oticon Real aids enabling me to hear both ringing tones and telephone audio directly into the Has. I still use the mobile phone’s microphone to speak with the other party.
The Panasonic DECT phones are just like standard home cordless phones but with a difference – the DECT base station, as well as being connected to the landline also connect by Wifi to my home router. This Wifi connection enables landline telephone conversation data to be connected to the mobile phone which is also connected by Wifi to my home router.
A free app from Panasonic running on the mobile phone then transforms the mobile phone into an additional DECT handset, thus anything that you can do with the DECT cordless handset you can now also do with the mobile phone.
In short the facilities available via the app include:
Incoming landline calls produce ringing tones into the HAs
Incoming calls can be answered by a button in the app
Calls can be terminated by a button on the app
Calls can be transferred both to and from the regular DECT handset(s).
For outgoing calls via the app a choice is presented to make the call via the landline or the mobile.
Integration between the contacts list of the DECT base station and that of the mobile is available.
Answering machine functions can be accessed via the app.
The Panasonic KX-PRW120, in conjunction with the Panasonic Smartphone Connect app, presents a significant advancement in telecommunication for hearing aid wearers. It symbolizes a step towards more inclusive technology.
