What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026
The Clarity AltoPlus is a corded amplified speakerphone that boosts incoming audio by up to 53dB — well above standard phones — and increases outgoing speech by 15dB, making it one of the loudest amplified phones available for home use. It's designed for people with moderate to severe hearing loss, low vision, or reduced hand dexterity: large backlit buttons, a talking caller ID display, and ergonomic volume controls address multiple limitations at once. This is a complete, plug-in-and-use telephone — you connect it to a standard phone jack and it works independently without apps, Bluetooth pairing, or additional hardware. This is a landline-only corded phone, so it won't work in households that have switched entirely to cellular or VoIP without a traditional phone line.
