I have trouble hearing on the telephone. What can I do?

There are many options to help you hear better on the phone. Current hearing aids incorporate Bluetooth technology which streams the speaker’s voice directly from your smartphone into your hearing aids. If you prefer a landline, try using the speakerphone. Massachusetts residents who have hearing loss are entitled to an amplified telephone at a reduced cost or no cost, through the Massachusetts Equipment Distribution Program. You may also be eligible to receive a captioned telephone at no charge. Contact us for more information about programs for special telephones for people with hearing loss.
