So, my Grandmother has recently become profound deaf in one ear, and is becoming severely deaf in the other. She has hearing aids, but they work just enough for her to be able to talk with us, and her learning ASL isn't an option, as much as I would like it to be. When she talks on the phone, it's really hard for her to hear, and she needs a solution. I don't think she'd like using only a TTY with a TRS service, because she'll want to hear as much of whoever-she's-talking-to's voice as she can and would probably get annoyed at typing. I've tried looking into transcripted, vco calls, but I'm not sure they work like she needs them to. She wants to be able to talk to the other person (not a TRS person) and both listen to and read what he or she says. Also, it needs to be really simple to use. Is there an option like that out there, or am I off my rocker? (We don't really want to go the amplified phone route.)
