Amplified Corded Telephones

To determine shich amplified phone best suites your individual needs, it is suggested that you find out what decibel (dB) hearing loss you have. If you are a hearing aid user, your audiologist can help.

As a general guideline, for Mild Hearing Loss: A phone with up to 28dB amplification, Moderate Hearing Loss: 30-48dB amplification and Severe Hearing Loss: 50dB+ amplification.

For non-hearing aid wearers, you could start with a 40dB telephone. This is the maximum gain and can be lowered if too high.
