Deaf/Hard of Hearing

Hearing conditions may include otosclerosis, tinnitus, and deafness.  Limitations can include the inability to hear certain volumes, tones or frequencies, ringing in the ears, or the inability to hear anything at all.

The categories listed below include products that can assist individuals with any number of limitations resulting from hearing conditions.  Because there are so many potential solutions for hearing limitations, CAP cannot list all possible accommodations.  The products listed below present a variety of unique features to accommodate an array of limitations and are most often certified for use on federal agencies’ networks.
