Read, Understand, and Hear with a Caption Telephone
A Caption Telephone is ideal for people with some degree of hearing loss. It works like any other telephone with one important addition: It displays every word the caller says throughout the conversation.
We work with several clear caption phone services at no charge to the patient. However, you will need a recommendation from an audiologist and a hearing evaluation to receive a referral.
Free captioning service is provided by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which requires the telecommunication industry to provide qualified people who have hearing loss with functionally equivalent solutions that allow them to communicate with the same abilities as someone without hearing loss. The Americans with Disabilities Act also requires that people with hearing loss pay no more for their telephone service than people without hearing loss.
