Easy

Instructions

1. Assess your needs. Determining which options and services you need is the first step in getting the right caption phone. Select things like caller ID, phone storage capacity and call alert options.

2. Decide if need or want voice with captions, such as with the CapTel phone. This of course will only benefit someone with limited hearing capability.

3. Ask if your health insurance will help cover the costs of your new equipment. Checking your health insurance policy to see if you have equipment reimbursement is smart since a caption phone is an expensive piece of equipment.

4. Check with your local state agency to see if they provide the CapTel phone and service at no charge. Many states provide this service to the hearing impaired. Check with your local state agency to see if you qualify.
