Before I got my Iphone and the Hamilton Mobile app, I used one of the nifty Cap Tel (Captioned Telephone) devices. The mobile app for Iphone and the captioned phone allow me to use my own voice, but a Calling Agent types to me what the person on the other end of the phone is saying. Cap Tel even has an option to use your computer in the same manner. If you know someone who is no longer using a phone because the volume isn't loud enough and nothing else works, I would encourage you to check out the Cap Tel devices and Relay Systems and find what works best. It's wonderful to "see" what you've missed hearing, and your loved ones will love hearing your voice over the phone again. The people at Hamilton Cap Tel will even send you a demo DVD and many states provide the phone for you at no charge. It's a wonderful option to have available.

Raised on the Southern Oregon Coast, now retired on the Southern Oregon Coast. I was a hard of hearing child who grew up to be a deafened adult. I share and write about deafness, hearing loss and other things I find interesting. I am a 50 something year old woman who could be anyone's mother, grandmother or friend. I've traveled the U.S., and I've lived in Europe. I'm currently residing near the beach with Fabulous Husband and 11 year old son. ~ Joyce Edmiston
