A telephone amplifier like the PhonePlus is useful if your current phone isn’t loud enough but you like everything else about it and don’t want to buy a new phone. It plugs into your existing phone and amplifies the sound for you.

Adjust the sound to suit your hearing loss

The PhonePlus has the joint strongest amplification in our telephone amplifier range. It increases your telephone's volume by up to 40dB. You can even change the tone of the sound so you can tailor the settings to suit you hearing loss.

Other people can use the phone freely too, as they can simply turn the volume up or down to suit their hearing needs too.

You’re not restricted to your home

The handy thing about telephone amplifiers is that you can actually take them with you when you’re travelling. They’re small and easy to fit so you won’t be restricted to calling from your home phone.

Simple to set up in seconds

It fits between the handset and base unit of your corded telephone (it doesn't work with cordless phones or Binatone phones). So, the curly cable plugs into the PhonePlus and the PhonePlus plugs into where the curly cable used to go. Simple!

A helpful tip…

If you’re getting interference from your hearing aid when you are on the phone you may find the neckloop accessory very useful. This is because interference is generally caused by the closeness of the telephone receiver to your hearing aid. But, when you use a neckloop you can hold the handset further away from your ear as the sound is sent straight to your hearing aid via the neckloop.

  • Increases handset volume by up to 40dB
  • Compatible with most corded home and office telephones
  • Easy to connect and simple to use
  • Further amplification available from boost button
  • Very useful tone control feature - adjust the caller voice to your own requirements
  • If you are getting feedback between your telephone handset and your hearing aid then you will find the neckloop accessory very useful.
  • Long connection lead 25 cm
  • 2 x AA alkaline batteries are included in the price

I'm aware there may be issues with Binatone and Audioline telephones, but generally speaking (no guarantees I know) is this likely to work with a telephone that has a (rubbish) volume control on it already or does the telephone's built in volume control r

The only way would be to try the unit to see if it is compatible with your existing telephone. If you find it unsuitable then you can always return the unit back to us within 28 days for a full refund or exchange as long as it is in as new condition.

Will it work with a telephone which already has its own amplifier

We would not recommend using a in- line- amplifier on a already amplified phone.

Once the appropriate volume level has been selected, can that level be left alone or does one have to set the level for each call, please ?If able to be left alone, does this affect the battery life ?

Once the volume /tone settings have been set then they will remain at this level until you manually adjust them again by using the slider controls.This will not affect the battery life as the unit will only come on once the handset receiver is picked up

Device is for use on my brother's telephone. Apart from being rather deaf he also has severe dementia and doesn't understand controls. Whereas before a phone conversation was virtually impossible we can cope now.

I previously used an amplified phone with loudspeaker and keeping my hearing aids in. But this was not entirely satisfactory. This unit allows me to feed the amplification straight into my ear which is a great improvement.

Excellent product. At last I can hear clearly incoming calls. Program card (HWM) rather fiddly to set up & instructions could be clearer, but at the third attempt it worked perfectly.

I was allowed one of these from the social Services but I also have a second phone by my bed and was very satisfied with the other one so bought this one also. Thank you.

A lot easier to hear people on the phone. I wish I'd known earlier about all these aids for deaf people.

My sister who phones me a lot says I needed something as she couldn't keep on speaking very loud. She suggested I apply to RNID which I did. I selected Phoneplus and am thrilled with it. I am so grateful to have it - its made my life a lot better.

Very useful. A phone with a built in T loop would be better for a fixed phone but this is portable.

I can hear the other person talking which makes a change from them having to repeat what they say. Most excellent product.
