Joyces, I think I understand what you've got. You have a landline phone connected to the modem provided by your cable company. The telephone that is connected to the modem is a cordless remote system. You carry the remote phone when you're near the house but you need to amplify the sound from it. There are several options. If you have a telecoil in your hearing aids, then you may not need anything other than to switch the telecoil on when using the phone. There are landline phones that will allow you to get those calls transferred to a cellphone. One thing that helps people with hearing loss is being able to hear the phone with both ears instead of the ear where the handset is placed. This is why speaker phone helps. So, if your hearing aids have a telecoil already, make sure the audiologist enables them. This may solve your problem without having to buy a new phone. You can review phone options at HARC (www.harc.com) or Harris Communications (www.harriscomm.com).
