The Tile app (you can use without buying anything) can turn on the ringer and set full volume. My partner and I use it to find each other's phones. There are probably other apps that do that, too.

My fiance loses stuff all the time so she got a Tile (a locator gadget) for her keys and wallet. It has a phone mode too in the app, and it goes off when activated, even if it's on silent. The trick is you need another phone with the app too, of course, but that's easy enough for us to deal with.
