Another possibility with a cordless landline (besides basic
defectiveness and/or weak specifications) is if the battery is partially
discharged and/or going defective, the lower available wattage could
cause the phone's built-in H/W based filtering to start to go "in the
tank".

Result would also be in line with what you are seeing, and I have
observed a similar effect in the past, when one of my cordless phones
took a gradual dive.
