How Loud is the Amplicomms BigTel 50?
The BigTel 50 is an ideal telephone for anybody suffering with hearing difficulties thanks to the highly adjustable volume of both the receiver and the ringer. The extra-loud receiver can amplify the speech of your callers up to 40dB, or over 4x louder than a standard phone! The ringer is also extra-loud, and can be adjusted up to a massive maximum volume of 90dB. This BigTel 50 Plus Landline Phone has a convenient boost button (see picture below). When pressed it boosts the receiver volume to 40dB instantly. The BigTel 50 is also hearing aid compatible with the majority of popular hearing aids on the market. This provides crystal clear sound directly into your ears, ensuring you don’t miss a thing. Users looking for an extra loud phone may be interested in the Amplicomms PowerTel 196 which with a volume boost of 60dB is the loudest phone on the market.
Emergency Call Pager
This phone includes an incredibly useful emergency call pager with an easy-activation button. It’s programmable and can be set to call either a specific number of a loved one, or to emergency services. There is also an emergency answering message that the phone will play until the receiver of the call acknowledges the emergency by pressing the 0 key. The pager can be worn on your wrist with the included bracelet, or around your neck with the included lanyard. It’s also water resistant!
The BigTel 50 is Easy To Use
The larger button size on the BigTel 50 is ideal for those with visual impairments thanks to the big button design, which means that the numbers will be easier to read, reducing the risk of telephone numbers being incorrectly dialled. This larger size is also suitable for anybody with reduced dexterity as they are easier to manage than smaller, traditional dialling buttons. The telephone is fitted with a large and clear dot-matrix display screen, which displays the caller ID for incoming and outgoing calls. This phone also includes a bright LED light which flashes when there is an incoming call, providing a visual aid to make it clearer when the phone is being rung.
