Hamilton CapTel Captioned Telephones

A simple phone call shouldn’t be an obstacle for people with hearing loss

For people with hearing loss, talking on the phone can be a frustrating experience. Hamilton® CapTel® captioned telephones remove the obstacle hearing loss presents, making it possible to maintain the connections with family and friends that are so important to us all. With a captioned phone, you can listen and read captions of what’s being said in real-time. It can truly be a life-changing experience.

For more than 20 years, Hamilton CapTel captioned telephones and service have delivered more than 400 million captioned telephone calls. Hamilton CapTel is designed exclusively to keep people with hearing loss connected with what matters most.
