Price is what the vendor listed when last checked. Confirm it with the vendor before buying.

Setup with instructions The unit has just one control, so daily use is simple. Getting good results takes a little setup, though. You have to charge and load the batteries, pick and connect a microphone that isn't included, and find a volume that avoids feedback. A family member can do all of this with the instructions in about half an hour, so guided setup fits.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

The Chattervox is a small, belt-worn voice amplifier that makes a quiet speaking voice louder, with up to 15 dB of boost. It suits someone with mild to moderate low-volume speech who wants a simple way to be heard in conversation. The only control is one knob that works as both the volume and the power switch, so it's easy to use day to day. It comes with six rechargeable AA batteries, a plug-in charger that can fully recharge overnight, a storage case, and a belt extender. One important detail: the microphone is not included, so you'll need to get one separately.

What setup looks like

  • With a guide
    1. Charge the included rechargeable AA batteries overnight with the plug-in charger, then load them into the unit (regular AA batteries also work).
    2. Connect a microphone, which is sold separately, and clip the amplifier to a belt or waistband using the belt extender if needed.
    3. Turn the volume/power knob up slowly while speaking until your voice is clear and loud enough, but before it starts to squeal with feedback. Plan on about 30 minutes to find a comfortable level and position.
