What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026
This cordless phone provides 40dB of amplification along with six tone settings that let you adjust the frequency profile of the incoming voice — helpful for people who can hear sound but struggle with clarity at certain pitches. The Slow Talk feature reduces the speed of speech in real time during calls and playback, which benefits both people with hearing loss and those who process spoken language more slowly. It also includes talking caller ID, a talking keypad, and large backlit buttons, making it useful for people with low vision as well. The built-in answering machine, call blocking, and speakerphone are all standard, but this is a corded base with cordless handset — you'll need a phone service line (landline or VoIP adapter) to use it, and the 40dB amplification applies to the handset only, not the speakerphone at the same level.
