Has anyone tried the Caption Call phone?

[kas125]

My dad is deaf and not in good health and I'm his caregiver. I just discovered this last night and was wondering if anyone here has used it, and if so, what do you think of it?

1. No, but that's a neat idea. Very hard to talk on the phone if you can't hear what's being said.

2. This looks interesting, thank you. I've not heard of them but it looks interesting.

3. CapTel Phone

I have a CapTel phone which I recieved free from the State of North Carolina. Check out their website www.captel.com It's pretty good but, if the caller speaks at the speed of light you will have a little lagtime. It's better than nothing or having to ask people to make calls for you or to take this call because you can't hear the words. I have sensory nueral hearing loss hear some sounds but, not others. Give it a try - what do you have to lose. Good Luck
