Setup with instructions The phone is a complete, stand-alone solution, but there is more to set up than with a basic phone. You connect the base, pair and charge the handset, and tune the amplification and ringer. A family member can do this with the manual in about half an hour. Anyone who uses hearing aids with a t-coil should test that connection, since results depend on the hearing aid.

What it is

Summary

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

This cordless phone makes calls easier to hear, with amplification of up to 50 dB on the voice of the person you're talking to. The ringer reaches 112 dB, and a flashing light signals incoming calls, so you can notice a call without relying on sound alone. It works with hearing aid t-coils, which pick up the phone's signal directly and cut down background noise. An answering machine is built in, and the whole thing is meant for someone with hearing loss who still wants a regular home phone.
