Does anyone have any suggestions on a telephone--numbers I can see well; voices I can hear VERY WELL. My phones aren't working that well anymore. :-) Love to you all.

The Canadian National Institute for the Blind has "oodles" of assistive devices, not just for the blind. They have an on-line catalogue, I would honestly be up the creek with no paddle without them.

Your local phone company might have some suggestions for a phone. Otherwise you can try googling "low vision hearing impaired cordless phones" and several retailers will come up that sell those kinds of phones.
I bought a Panasonic earlier this year because I can actually read the display. It's from their regular line of phones and I thought it would be OK because Panasonic usually makes good products. But the sound quality is kind of muddy which I didn't expect from Panasonic. Because of the sound problem I can't recommend it. You might do better with one of the phones made for people with bad hearing.Comment

I have a problem "affording" assistive products! Even a phone is far to expensive on SS or disability payments.Sissy
