16th Annual Assistive Technology Summer Institute; July 20 - 22, 2014
Challenges of Telephone Use• For many people with a hearing loss, understanding
speech over a telephone may be difficult due to– Lack of visual cues– Difficulty coupling to a hearing aid or cochlear implant– Feedback– Insufficient volume– Rapid speakers– Hearing out of only one ear on the phone– Noise in the environment– Phone compatibility– EM interference when using the telecoil
![Page 12: Vicki Thompson AzTEDP Program Planner V.Thompson@acdhh.az 1-866-223-3412 602-542-3365 v/ tty](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062502/56816390550346895dd4844d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

T-Coil ?
(AKA: Telecoils, T-Switches) – Perhaps you’re not sure.
If you are not sure if your hearing
aids have a MANUAL T-Coil setting, please check with your Hearing Health Professional. Many times, they can be installed for a nominal fee.

Telecommunication Devices There are a variety of hearing assistive devices for the phone For people who understand fairly well on the phone but just need more volume, auditory devices will help◦ Amplified telephones◦ Cordless amplified phones◦ In-line amplifiers◦ Amplified headsets
For people who hear but have difficulty understanding speech on the phone, non-auditory devices can provide captions to supplement hearing◦ Captioned phones and services
![Page 17: Vicki Thompson AzTEDP Program Planner V.Thompson@acdhh.az 1-866-223-3412 602-542-3365 v/ tty](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062502/56816390550346895dd4844d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
16th Annual Assistive Technology Summer Institute; July 20 - 22, 2014
In-line amplifiersConnects between the base of the
phone and the handset of the phone
Telephone’s signal processing must occur prior to the amplification provided by the auxiliary amplifier
Will NOT work with cordless or phones with the dial pad in the handset of the phone
![Page 18: Vicki Thompson AzTEDP Program Planner V.Thompson@acdhh.az 1-866-223-3412 602-542-3365 v/ tty](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062502/56816390550346895dd4844d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
16th Annual Assistive Technology Summer Institute; July 20 - 22, 2014
Strap-on amplifiers• Advantages:
– Very portable– Will work with any phone
including cordless phones
• Disadvantages– Have to place and
remove with each phone call
– Only battery operated

Phone Communication Tips• Do not have anything in your mouth• Speak clearly, at a moderate pace• Do not use your speakerphone• Turn off any background sounds• If the person does not understand you, rephrase the
sentence • Inform the listener when changing the subject• Check for understanding of vital facts (do not use
yes/no questions, but instead ask content-context questions)
• If they have trouble hearing, suggest our free phone program

What is Bluetooth?
![Page 24: Vicki Thompson AzTEDP Program Planner V.Thompson@acdhh.az 1-866-223-3412 602-542-3365 v/ tty](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062502/56816390550346895dd4844d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
16th Annual Assistive Technology Summer Institute; July 20 - 22, 2014
Why is it called Bluetooth? Named after the 10th Century Danish Viking king, Harald
Blåtand known for his unification of warring tribes from Denmark including Skåne (present day Sweden)
◦ Blåtand translated into English means “Bluetooth”
Selected by Bluetooth developers originally as a code name for the project but it stuck as the official name
Like its namesake, Bluetooth is intended to unify the many electronic devices marketed by the telecommunication and computing industries
BT symbol verifies device is BT-enabled

When All This Isn’t Enough• Captioned options• If a captioned method is really, truly an option to
explore…..• Does the person have internet in their home?• If so, we refer them to the FEDERAL program. 840i
(internet)
• If NOT……..here is the reality………with the AzTEDP landline only unit. (840)
![Page 28: Vicki Thompson AzTEDP Program Planner V.Thompson@acdhh.az 1-866-223-3412 602-542-3365 v/ tty](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062502/56816390550346895dd4844d/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
16th Annual Assistive Technology Summer Institute; July 20 - 22, 2014
AzTEDP provides the 840Captions will only show up on incoming calls
where the caller honors this method.Good LUCK getting people to do that. Most calls
will NOT be captioned due to this extra step.

A word of caution about captioned phones
• It is time to stop saying “huh”, “what” and “could you repeat that”.
Instead:
• “Just a moment while I read what you are saying. Your patience is appreciated.”
• “Hang on a minute while I read what you are saying on my special phone.”
• “I can’t listen as fast as you talk, so I read what you say on my captioned phone. Bear with me, it will take a moment for me to respond.”
