Toteable Classroom Hearing Aid Only Hearing Aid + FM
6 Infrared Devices Induction Loop Systems Receivers Taxi Set up for room loop IR system Light Transmitter Chair loop Personal loop Accessories for HA and CI Bluetooth (transmitter) Streamers TELECOMMUNICATIONS Telecommunications This is now! Ê Today s telecommunication devices have put Deaf, deaf and hard of hearing individuals on an EQUAL LEVEL with hearing people: Ê E- mail Ê Texting Ê Visual voice- mail Ê Instant Messaging Ê PIN (for BlackBerry users only) Ê Video calls
7 Cell phones What are M and T ratings? Ê The FCC require all cell phone makers and service providers to make phones hearing aid compatible (HAC) for people using hearing aids and cochlear implants. Ê Devices that are HAC compliant have: Ê Less static Ê Less interference Ê Better telecoil connections Ê HAC compliant device packages are marked with M or T ratings M rating Ê M rating refers to the microphone mode. Ê Wireless devices rated M3 or M4 are likely to generate less interference. Ê M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. T rating Ê T rating refers to the telecoil mode. Ê Wireless devices rated T3 or T4 are likely to be more usable with a hearing device's telecoil ("T Switch" or "Telephone Switch") Ê T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. Look for M4/T4 to have the best chance of being interference free whether used with your hearing aids or cochlear implants in microphone or t-coil mode. Finding the HAC rating Amplified telephones Ê Ê Ê Check the packaging/description card in the store Ê Search online if you know the make and model of the phone Ê Used in place of standard phones Ê Models have a variety of features including tone adjustment, volume boost, loud ringer, visual signalers, memory buttons, capacity for multiple lines, and power adapters. Transcribed voic Captioning for phones Ê Several services out there that will: Ê Listen to your voic using voice- recognition software or live captioners Ê Transcribe your voic Ê E- mail it to your computer or PDA Ê Read the display on the desktop phone itself, a computer screen, a tablet or mobile phone (will need to use speakerphone) as well as listen to the other person s voice Ê Used by people who voice for themselves Ê Check with your carrier to see which services are available Ê Prices range from around $0.35/message to unlimited messages for $40/month Ê (FREE!)

9 Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) Voice Carry Over Ê Uses video conferencing equipment to provide sign language interpreting services Ê Both the deaf and hearing person are in the same room Ê VCO is a feature from the relay service that allows a person with hearing loss to use their own voice on the telephone, while receiving the other partyʼ s communication Ê Works with text relay as well as video relay Ê The interpreter is at a call center in another city Ê Especially useful for rural areas where there may be a lack of qualified interpreters Communication Access Realtime Translation (CART) ACCESSIBILITY OPTIONS Ê Instant translation of the spoken word into English text using a stenotype machine, notebook computer and realtime software Ê Text appears on a computer monitor or other display Ê Primarily used by people who are late- deafened, oral deaf, hard of hearing or have cochlear implants Ê Culturally deaf individuals may use in certain situations Ê Sometimes referred to as realtime captioning Ê Can be done live or via remote location C- print / TypeWell Ê C- Print, TypeWell and similar speech- to- text accommodations seek to provide a meaning- for- meaning transcript of spoken communication it does not attempt to provide a verbatim transcription Ê Systems were designed to meet the needs of deaf and hard of hearing students in educational settings Ê Advantage: Ê the text produced is more accessible for those with less developed reading skills, and the transcript is not as cumbersome when used for study purposes CAPTIONING FOR ENTERTAINMENT Ê Disadvantage: Ê if used to augment hearing, the difference in exact words used may be confusing
