Hi there!
Your connect clip sounds great. I am going to ask my audiologist about that.
I have the special phone called “caption call”. It is free for anyone that qualifies. I think it is great. The volume is louder and the words they speak to you come up on the monitor. It is a federally ran program, but I got it through my ENT and Audiologist. At least you are still going out with another couple. I’d say I have retreated.
I am not doing any traveling right now, but when I do, I would like to go to one of the conventions.
I live in Nebraska, so right in the center of the U.S.
Try the phone, if you haven’t already. You need WiFi.
Until later,
JoAngela 😁

@joangela There also is an app for cell phones called Innocaption that does the same thing for cell phones that CapTel or Caption Call does for landline phones, also free. I saw it at the Convention and we invited them to speak at our chapter last year. The members that are using out say it works great.

Caption call is great, their assistance and service is stop notch. There are two versions of
CAPTION CALL now, the Home Model no WI-FI required, prints out conversation when said, so you can have a conversation with some one and more recently added was the service for Cell Phones. I received my first one about 25 years ago and it is great and though I have not had add ed my cell phone yet as it connects automatically with my hearing aids when I am on the phone and is works seamlessly. In case you have not figured it out I whole heartedly endorse it.
Sure is a long way from the old cupped hand and lots of huh’s. In addition there is a built in message system, if you want to monitor calls you can and either delete, or delete those pest
Calls as it prints out who the call is from such as a friend etc and also if it is from Mr. Spam,
Miss Unavailable, and Cousin Urgent or block them as they come along. And no I do not work
For them company and am not a stockholder.
