Loudest Phones for Hard of Hearing

Being hard of hearing can be incredibly difficult, especially when it comes to the phone. Not being able to hear the ring or what the person on the other end is saying can discourage phone use, causing loneliness and isolation, particularly with elderly people. If you or a loved one are partially deaf, you may need one of our Loudest Phones for Hard of Hearing. 

The phones in this list are really loud, with ringer volumes going up to a massive 117dB! From corded phones, to simple mobiles and all the way to smart phones, we've got the extra-loud amplified telephone for you.
