Losing hearing because of brain tumor

Hi,
I have tried AVA but didn’t care for it. Other speakers have to have it loaded onto their phone. There is an app for android phones called live transcribe and it’s free. If you have an iPhone or an android there’s another app called OTTER . Google the place store on your phone and browse through what they have. TextHear is another I have loaded when LiveTransctibe fails me (it’s WiFi dependent).
I use Live Transcribe on my Samsung all the time especially now with people wearing masks. I also use Innocaption+ for phone calls on my cell phone that allow me to hear and read what the caller is saying and has visual voice mail. I have a Captel phone for my landline .
We need a landline here because of the fax machine.
If you research and come across any apps you like or have questions please ask away. Some people have better experiences with these apps than others and I think it depends on how good the mic is on a particular phone. Don’t pay for any as there are too many free ones available.

Thank you for sharing all this information. All these emerging technologies were only dreamed about a decade ago. Thanks to HLAA and people who want more and are willing to work for it, research and development has been done because people listened to us. I always quote the founder of HLAA, Howard 'Rocky' Stone, who always told us. "If you want to solve a problem, you have to become part of the solution". So true. Unfortunately, the majority of people with 'the problem' don't do that. Thanks to those, like you, who do.
