Caption Phone
Lots of older parents quit talking with their kids and grandkids on the phone, because they can’t hear. Even with hearing aids. But did you know there is a federal program that provides close-captioned phone service for the hard of hearing?
It uses a captioned phone—everything the caller says is printed on a large display screen, so Grandad can catch every word. It connects to the phone service, and to your internet service, to provide the best of both worlds: voice and captions. Get this, and make phone calls fun again!

My mom was missing portions of phone conversations but was reluctant to tell us (her kids) so we bought her a caption phone and she no longer misses a word.
