How Loud Is the Loudest Telephone?
The volume of the Geemarc Amplipower 50 Amplified Telephone is fully adjustable. An easy-to-use slider sets the volume, and ranges from a normal receiver volume to an extremely loud 60dB, which is approximately 32 times as loud as a standard telephone. You can leave this adjustable slider where it is, so there is no need to adjust the volume for every call, but it does let you turn the volume up or down depending on how loud the other person is when they are speaking to you.
Tone control helps you adjust how the person's voice comes across to you, boosting difficult-to-hear elements of speech like the letter "T" and "S" in conversation that can easily be missed if you are hard of hearing. Moreover, you can also adjust the ringing volume to up 80dB, making sure you never miss another call.

Can I Add Additional Handsets to This System?
While the Amplipower 50 can be used on the same phone line as additional cordless phones, handsets can unfortunately not be connected directly to the system itself.

This includes a corded amplified phone and one cordless handset, and you can pair up to an additional three handsets by purchasing the Extra Handset for the AmpliDECT 295.
