Setup with instructions Most families can plug this phone in and use it quickly. Getting good results takes a bit more: you need to tune the amplification and tone to the person's hearing and program the memory buttons. Written instructions and about half an hour are enough for that, so guided setup fits. A hearing professional is only needed if you want to connect a neck loop or other accessory and get the match right.

What it is

Summary

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

The HD-60 is a corded amplified phone that boosts incoming voices by up to 55 dB. Tone settings let you shape the sound to fit your hearing, and noise reduction cuts distortion, echo, and static. It's aimed at people with moderate to severe hearing loss, and it works with hearing aids. For vision, it has a large backlit keypad and two bright visual ringers, on the front and the side. The ringer goes up to 95 dB, and a warning sounds and lights up if the handset isn't hung up properly. It stores 12 one-touch numbers and has a 3.5 mm jack for a neck loop, telecoil, or other accessories. It can also be mounted on a wall. Batteries for backup power during an outage are not included.
