Helping you get the most from communications
New guide for deaf or hard of hearing people
BT has created Communication Choices: for deaf or hard of hearing people, the first in a new series of guides being developed by BT offering help and advice for people around specific impairments.
These guides describe a full range of options that will help people to identify the right communications tools for their needs. The first in the series is devoted to people who are deaf or hard of hearing and, while leading on traditional telephony, it also explores the benefits the internet and associated technologies can offer.
You can download this new guide as a pdf or in rich text format.
This latest guide complements Sound Connections, a no- nonsense guide on how to improve the quality and volume of speech on the telephone. The national charity Hearing ConcernLINK has recommended it to hard of hearing people and the professionals who advise them.
