- Compatible with most hearing aids.

Many older people living with dementia can find modern phones challenging to use. Symptoms of dementia can complicate this further, and getting in contact with loved ones can present frustrating obstacles. The Geemarc Amplified Telephone has been designed with seniors in mind, and has many features that mean loved ones will have a smoother experience.
The Geemarc’s distinctly loud ringer and flashing LED light ensures calls will be noticed, and anyone struggling with forgetfulness should be able to find the handset quickly. The receiver is amplified so they can hear you on the other end, too. Speed dial photo buttons simplify the process of contacting loved ones for them, and the ‘auto-answer’ feature means they can take the call simply by picking up the handset from the cradle.
Regular phone conversations with loved ones are an important part of all of our lives, and so it only makes sense that they should be as easy as possible for the people at either end. The Geemarc streamlines the process for people living with dementia, so that when you call there’s less difficulty and more quality time.

Reviews
Easy to install and store numbers. My mother in law is finding it much easier to use, we can tell by the number of calls we are receiving and less engaged tones when she hasn’t replaced handset properly.
Easy set up and clever product.
