Local groups get federal grants to treat substance abuse, mental health issues - St. Petersburg Times

The Deaf and Hearing Connection recently announced the addition of several new telephones, TTYs and captioned telephones available through its no-charge equipment distribution program. Deaf and Hearing Connection offers amplified telephones and related equipment at no cost to permanent Florida residents who are deaf, hard of hearing, deaf/blind or speech-impaired.

The telecommunications access program is funded by an existing surcharge on all Florida telephone bills. Equipment is available by appointment Monday through Friday at the Deaf and Hearing Connection's main office, or at satellite locations throughout Pinellas and Hillsborough counties.

The Deaf and Hearing Connection, Tampa Bay's only nonprofit hearing center, also offers free hearing screenings by appointment, low-cost hearing aids, cleaning and repair. The group specializes in communication access for deaf, hard of hearing or late-deafened people.

The main office is at 7821 Seminole Blvd., Seminole. For a complete list of distribution locations or to schedule an appointment, call (727) 399-9983 (voice) or (727) 399-9422 (TTY).
