Can you read English reasonably well? Having Live Transcribe on an Android phone (or other similar apps on an Android or iPhone) might might really help you get what is being said to you. Google Live Transcribe and you will get a lot more information about it than I can write here.

I have a direct connected TTY and a regular landline phone and want to add a Caller ID Name & Number Display Unit. What order should these be connected starting at the phone jack outlet in the wall.

zephren Whether your suggestion of sign language is very helpful or not soooo depends on where a person is living. I have been deaf in one ear for many, many years and have a very profound loss in the other one one for years. I took beginning sign at a local community college two different...

I can't help but wonder just what you problem with using a TTY is? The keyboard on a full size TTY is sooo similar to a PC keyboard even in size.

The way you have written in composing your post I get the impression that you read at least English just fine. Do you happen to have a cell phone that runs the Android OS (I do not have an iPhone so do not know how what is available for them works.)? One thing I find really helpful is make...

How much is a portable power bank that would hold enough to recharge them nightly? Or a solar power bank that could be carried while recharging on the go during the day.

I have started seeing TV ads for rechargeable hearing aids. There seems to me to be a major problem with that idea in that you can't hear with them while recharging? Years ago I had some rechargeable 675 batteries that worked but ran down before the end of my day. It was inconvenient but in...
