Doro Telephones

In this push-button age, technology plays such a major part in our lives that we all tend to take it for granted. One of the biggest areas of growth is in communications, but as telephones become ever more compact and sophisticated, many older citizens can find themselves left out in the cold. Numbers and screens can be too hard to see and buttons too small to press. Even speaker and ring volumes can be hard to hear.

It's a problem that Swedish electronics company Doro have embarked on a mission to eliminate. They specialise in producing big button phones that are effortless to use and easy to understand, with practical features like high-contrast keys, simple to read screens and easily adjustable volume controls.

Combining sleek, stylish design and innovations like one-touch photo dialling and hearing aid compatibility, Doro help the elderly keep in touch and up to date. Recommended by the Royal National Institute for the Blind and leading care agencies.
