Hamilton CapTel 840i Closed Captioned Telephone

Purchased this as a second unit for my dad who's all but lost all hearing. It's been difficult to call because he no longer hears my voice unless I'm shouting. This is the same style unit that he has had and stored after his own brother - who had a similar loss of hearing - passed away years ago. I installed this seamlessly and after a series of firmware updates the unit worked. There can be some issues when calling from my vehicle as the unit can't transcribe what I'm saying and dad tells me that it says that my words are too garbled. But dad now has started calling me with the device and we actually have resumed having conversations again. Really, we are at our last option because all of the hearing aids simply can't perform for him anymore. There's a slight delay as the unit processes words from my speech and yet this beats yelling into my cell all the time. It is nice to feel comfortable resuming phone calls once again.

The large screen of the Hamilton CapTel phone is an excellent assistant in reading what you often cannot hear. The volume control increases the loudness of this wonderful phone by 40 Decibels. And the dialing buttons on this phone are extra large for ease of use.
