My mother is (Or would be) quite profoundly deaf, she has two Cochlear implants and for some reason, finds speakerphone easier to understand that the normal handset. We live in the same house and her work area is in the main lounge/dining room.
The single best response we have made was the entire family and a couple of friends bursting into riotous laughter when we heard the "I am calling from Microsoft security" They hung up quite quickly.
At our own end of the house the most effective approach has been to unplug the phone permanently, the only wanted calls we ever got on it were my wifes parents and we weaned them off that one onto our mobiles. We only have the phone line at all for a DSL service. Anyone who happens to call one of our mobiles goes on the ignore list.
