1. Hearing On the Phone Just Got Easier
When you have trouble hearing, being
able to see someone while they’re talking
can immensely improve how well you
understand what they are saying. Most
people who have hearing loss don’t think
they can read lips, when in actuality; this
coping mechanism can develop without
purposely practicing it. So what happens if you can’t see the person you’re
talking to? Say, when you’re talking on the phone?
Talking on the phone can be very frustrating for someone with hearing loss.
The two main reasons are that the phone doesn’t relay the full frequency
range of the human voice. In fact, some of the most important speech
frequencies are completely missing. The second reason is because there are
no visual cues. Up until recently, there was really no way to get around
these issues other than to use a speaker phone or hope that someone else
was home to hand the phone to. But now, those with hearing loss have the
opportunity to use a visual cue of a different sort in order to help them
understand on the phone.
With the development of Captioned Telephones (CapTel), a person with
hearing loss can now read, word-for- word, what the caller on the other end
of the line has to say. The idea is similar to that of closed captioning for the
television. Closed captioning is the written version of the spoken
conversation. The person with hearing loss can read the captions while

2. listening to the TV program. In the same way, the captioned telephone lets
the listener read what the other person on the phone is saying in real time
while working, in every other way, like a typical phone.
If you’re having trouble hearing on the phone, check with Captel.com for
details about this new telephone technology. The captioning itself is
provided free of charge and in many states, those with hearing loss can
receive the CapTel phone at no charge as well. Or, ask your hearing
healthcare provider for more information on this amazing technology.
