Pinterest This program helps you get equipment to communicate over the phone if you are deaf, hard of hearing, have trouble speaking or are deaf-blind. If you qualify, you can get help buying a phone that:
- Has a loud ringer
- Has large buttons
- Is labeled in Braille
- Is powered by your voice
You can also get help buying a teletypewriter. A teletypewriter is a machine you connect to your phone that lets you type a message to an operator. The operator then reads it to the person you are calling.
