If you or someone you care about just can’t hear on the phone, see the difference one phone call can make with Hamilton CapTel.
Similar to captions on television, where spoken words appear as written text for viewers to read, Hamilton CapTel provides word-for-word captions of what’s said, to the individual who experiences hearing loss, during telephone conversations.
