I need a phone amplifier for severe hearing loss land line?

Question

ive priced the amplified phones. I cant afford them.

Anyone know how I can get a 50db gain on a telephone without spending $100 +++?

Answer 1

Many newer phones have a 3.5 mm jack on the side for connecting a headset to.  A headset may allow better hearing.  I believe Panasonec sells a corded headset for under $20.

Otherwise, here is a low cost handset amplifier to consider:

why not just use a hearing aid? all phones sold in the USA are ADA compliant and are hearing aid compatable.
