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

Setup with instructions The phone plugs into a standard phone jack and works immediately for basic calls. However, getting the most from its features — programming memory buttons, pairing a neckloop or bed shaker, adjusting tone and boost settings for a specific hearing profile — benefits from a quick review of the manual or a brief guided session. No professional assessment is required, but it's not quite a zero-setup product, so guided setup is the right tier.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026

The Clarity Alto Plus is a corded landline phone with up to 53dB of incoming amplification and 15dB of outgoing speech amplification, a talking keypad, talking caller ID, and a large 4-inch backlit display with oversized text. It's designed for people who struggle to hear phone conversations clearly — whether due to hearing loss, aging, or both — and the multimodal caller ID (spoken and displayed) also makes it useful for people with low vision. This is a complete, plug-in-and-use phone: no computer, no app, and no subscription required. The bed shaker jack is a nice feature for alerting to incoming calls, but the shaker itself is sold separately and adds to the total cost.
