The following phones contain features of interest to
people with hearing loss:
The new Speak and Read VCO phone
allows you to use relay VCO from any standard phone.
One of the more sophisticated solutions is a device
called Speech-Adjust-A-Tone. It
connects to your telephone and provides the capability to tailor the
sound you hear to your particular hearing loss.
Have
you heard about the CapTel phone? It uses voice
recognition technology to provide text of the other person's words at
the speed of CART. It's just getting started, but I think it'll be a
huge contribution to the quality of life of many people with hearing
loss.
