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

Setup with instructions This is a complete phone that works on its own, but setup has several steps: connecting the base, charging the handset, and pairing cell phones over Bluetooth. A family member with the written instructions can do it in about 30 minutes. A professional isn't needed, though it helps to have someone check that the sound settings are comfortable for the person using it.

What it is

Summary

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

The Clarity XLC8 is a cordless home phone that makes incoming calls up to 50 dB louder, with tone control, a boost button, and a volume wheel so you can shape the sound. It also boosts your own voice by 15 dB so the other person hears you better. Large lit buttons that speak, talking caller ID, and a big-font, high-contrast screen help if you also have trouble seeing the keypad. You can pair up to two Bluetooth devices, such as cell phones, so mobile calls get the same amplification, and it can store up to 1,000 contacts from a smartphone. A landline isn't required if you only want to amplify cell calls. The built-in answering machine can play messages back at a slower pace. You can add up to three more handsets, which are sold separately.

What setup looks like

  • With a guide
    1. Plug in the base and charge the handset, following the quick-start guide.
    2. Connect the base to your phone line if you are using a landline. This step can be skipped if you only want to amplify cell calls.
    3. Pair your cell phone by turning on Bluetooth on the phone and the XLC8 handset, then follow the pairing prompts. A second phone can be paired the same way.
    4. Adjust the volume wheel, tone setting, and boost button to what sounds clearest, and record your greeting. Plan on about 30 minutes in total.
