Hearing-Impaired

Don’t let hearing loss prevent you from joining the BackNTouch℠ community! If hearing impairment is a concern for you, we will help you register for a free captioned telephone to help you stay socially connected, and will guide you step-by-step through the registration process.

Captioned telephones are part of a federally-funded program regulated by the FCC, and allow you to both listen and read every word the other person says during a telephone conversation so that you can communicate confidently and easily again. 

Vision-Impaired

If you have vision loss, we will help you attain a free adaptive telephone that will allow you to dial with more confidence and ease.

Available features include larger keypads, illuminated buttons, raised braille keys, programmable memory-dial options, and a talking keypad that announces each number as you dial it.
