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

Setup with instructions The phone works with basic hookup, but the best results come from tuning the tone, volume and talking features to the person's hearing and vision. A family member can do this in about half an hour using the manual, so guided setup fits. Adding a neckloop, headset or bed shaker takes a little more care.

What it is

Summary

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

This corded phone makes incoming calls up to 53dB louder and speaks each key you press and the name or number of each caller. A large 4-inch tilting screen with big, backlit text shows who is calling, so it works for people who have trouble hearing and trouble seeing small displays. It also has a 100dB ringer with a visual indicator, a speakerphone, three one-touch memory buttons, and a boost override that turns amplification on for everyone who uses it. Outgoing speech amplification makes your voice louder for the person you're talking to, and jacks for a headset and neckloop let you connect other listening gear. It plugs into a phone line, and the battery backup and optional bed shaker are sold separately.

  • Out of the box
    Plug in the phone line and power, and you can make and answer calls with the amplification and speakerphone.
  • With a guide
    1. Adjust the tone and volume controls and the screen angle while someone who has trouble hearing or seeing tries the phone.
    2. Store frequent numbers on the three one-touch memory buttons, and turn on the boost override if others share the phone.
    3. Plan about 30 minutes to try the talking keypad and caller ID, plus any headset, neckloop or bed shaker.
