For those who have residual hearing, there are amplified phones that can amplify anywhere between 30 and 50 dB.

You may get by with CapTel

CapTel - The Captioned Telephone - The telephone that displays written, word-for-word captions of everything the caller says

but be warned - the caption is often a few seconds behind. And if the opposite speaker talks fast,
the delay can be 10-15 seconds.
