Get a CapTel telephone. In my area (and I assume all areas) the government pays for it. Not only does it enable you to read what the caller is saying, but acts as an answering machine. Another advantage is that the message and/or conversation is saved which makes it great backup to information received over the phone such as appointment dates and medication doses and other health updates. Beats trying to write down the instructions as they are given.

Caption all is another free phone just like Captel…which is great. There is a wonderful cell phone app called Innocaption+ that works like Captel and you can download from the play store . Research it…you can also put it on your desktop computer or IPad and get help registering for it if need be. Ask someone how you can forward your cell phone number to Innocaption+

I use the app in place of Captel now…very accurate and great technical support.

You guys are so lucky. I have tried to get this service in Canada but it is not available. If anyone out there hears otherwise please let me know.
