Helping You Hear and Read Every Word
As we age, hearing loss becomes much more common. According to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, approximately 1 in 4 adults, or 25% of people aged 65 to 74, and half of adults over 75 experience difficulty hearing. This is a challenge, especially when talking on the telephone.
Caption phones solve this problem by showing real-time texts of what the other person is saying, clearly printed right on a screen. They are a fantastic way to keep in touch with loved ones, to call for help if needed, and to maintain a bit more independence.
Stay Connected with Confidence
Caption phones make conversations easier, giving you clarity and peace of mind every time you pick up the phone.
What is a Caption Phone?
A particular kind of telephone that displays live captions of what you are saying while speaking is known as a caption phone. Hearing care professionals often recommend the use of such phones, which are appropriate for individuals with hearing loss.
For qualified individuals, caption phones and related services are provided for free by the Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). You would have to visit your physician and then have a qualified caption phone provider who can help you obtain one.
