Enjoy telephone conversations everywhere in your home with a range of 30 metres indoors and up to an incredible 80 metres outdoors!
The AmpliDECT 295 is a stylish amplified cordless phone with an adjustable receiver volume of up to 30dB! It is a great choice for anybody with a hearing loss and with both adjustable speaker and ringer volumes.
In the opinion of our evaluation panel, this is a well designed phone with a good sound quality. It does not have a tone control, which means that although it has a good level of amplification, the bass/treble cannot be adjusted to suit your particular hearing loss. Having said that, it is excellent value for money.
With large easy to press buttons and streamlined features this phone is excellent for anybody with dexterity issues. It fits really nicely in your hand for comfortable phone conversations. You also have the benefit of the built in speaker phone option which allows you to talk to the recipient at the end of the line, hands free!
This phone is 'Hearing Aid Compatible' meaning as well as being amplified, it has an inductive T coil in the handset which can be used with all hearing aids with a loop program (also known as a 'T' or telecoil facility).
The phonebook can store up to 50 numbers and there is a handy redial function for the last 10 outgoing calls.
This is an extra handset only, for use with a base station phone. You can pair up to 4 of these handsets with any of the AmpliDECT 295 range (single with answerphone, twin pack or Combi) giving you peace of mind in your home.

Geemarc AmpliDECT 295 Extra Handset ( 40TDECT295X )
Reviewed by: Morris Cooper`
I write this review purely to inform anyone interested in purchasing this handset for the T-coil facility, as I did. I have severe hearing impairment and was advised my my audiologist to try a landline phone with a T-coil, as I struggle to comprehend speech on landline phones, due to the almost universally poor quality speakers on cordless phones. Connevans is an excellent company with outstanding customer service. I found this handset to be better quality than I expected, easy to set up and use, with better than average speakers. The ring was not as loud as I had hoped and I doubt that it would wake me without my hearing aids. My problem was with the T-coil, to which there is absolutely no reference in the user guide. When I switched my aids to the T setting and put the handset speaker to my hearing aid, I could hear loud buzzing. I could vaguely hear the speech from the speaker, but felt that I was hearing this through the microphone on my aid and that the T-coil must be defective. I emailed customer services, who responded immediately via their technical team, who gave me information I would very much like to have had before I bought the handset. The advice I received was that the buzzing I was hearing was probably feedback, because my aids do not have a T only setting, they just have a T + mic setting. I was advised to have T only added to the settings on my aids. I could not do that in the 14 day return period, so I returned the handset. I had expected the T-coil to work the same as every T-coil I have used over the many years I have had hearing aids, ie to be effect with both aids simultaneously and to be better than sound through the mic on my aids. The sound I heard behind the buzzing was extremely weak. The technician pointed out to me that a strong T-coil signal would require mains power or at least a large battery, which is not possible with a cordless handset, and that the T-coil signal from the handsets has a range of only about one inch. I would be surprised if anyone would find sound from the T-coil on these devices any better than the sound from the speakers. I think it would be helpful if this information were available before purchase, hence my comments here. I cannot fault Connevans.
