Support Federal
Hearing Aid Tax Credit Bills...
The Better Hearing Institute has put a program
on the internet to help everyone to write letters to their
federal legislators to ask them to support Federal Hearing
Aid Tax Credit Bills HR 2329 and S1410. You don't even
have to know who your legislators are. When you pull up
the site, just add your name, address, and zip code, and
it will automatically send e-mails to your legislators.
It also will allow you to personalize the letter. Just
click on the link below and write your letter.

Sprint WebCapTel® Solution Shows Captions
over the Internet During Phone Calls; Facilitating
Easier Conversations

Web CapTel: Welcome Sprint WebCapTel is a web-based service that allows a person
who can speak but has difficulty hearing over the phone
to read word-for-word captions of their call on a web
browser during the call, while at the same time hearing
the other person using any telephone.
A user would make or receive calls while logged into a
website (www.sprintcaptel.com) and hear the person on the
other line using their own cell phone, desk phone, cordless
phone, or even an amplified phone. The user (if they have
any residual hearing) hears the person speaking through
any telephone, not through the internet or web browser.
During the call, captions appear on the user's web browser.
What equipment does one need to
make or receive calls on WebCapTel?
A user only needs three things:
A computer with web browser
An internet connection to the computer
A working telephone that can receive calls
