Increased independence
Thanks to the fast, accurate captions displayed on the CapTel screen during phone calls, people with hearing loss can confidently communicate without relying on others to interpret or relaying information through a third party. This independence empowers people with hearing loss to take control of their own calls, whether personal or professional, with privacy and confidence.
Clearer communication
CapTel phones ensure that every word spoken during a call is captured quickly and accurately through written captions. This clarity eliminates the stress and frustration of potentially missing important details, asking callers to repeat themselves or misunderstanding conversations, allowing users to confidently engage in meaningful and productive discussions with friends, family, and colleagues.
Deeper relationships
Relationships with our friends and family simply make life richer and more interesting — and there are even health benefits to social connections! Whether it’s catching up with grandchildren or chatting with old friends, a CapTel telephone enhances these relationships by helping you stay connected no matter how far apart you may be physically. Don’t worry about asking callers to repeat things or missing what they said, because it will all be right there for you to read. Share stories, ask questions, laugh together, and feel that familiar glow in your heart by the time you hang up!
Effortless appointment scheduling
Scheduling appointments over the phone can be a challenge if you experience hearing loss, particularly when a lot of details are involved. But CapTel telephones can make this process far easier. Users can call healthcare or service providers, book appointments, and confirm details with confidence by reading captions on the display screen, ensuring that their needs are met without communication barriers.
Emergency help
In times of emergency, communication can be critical. CapTel telephones provide a lifeline for individuals with hearing loss during crisis situations, without fear of misunderstanding what the Emergency Service Provider says.
More access to job opportunities
Effective communication is essential in the workplace, and CapTel telephones can open new job opportunities for individuals with hearing loss, especially if working remotely. With the ability to engage in conference calls, phone interviews, and client discussions knowing you can follow the conversation, you can pursue careers that may have previously seemed out of reach.
