- Amplified Phones are devices used by people who are hard of hearing who have some residual hearing and use their voice. The amplifier makes sounds louder and clearer.
- Personal listening devices are small, battery-operated, wireless and portable devices that use radio transmissions to send auditory signals from speakers (microphones) to listeners (receivers). These are best for personal one on one communication.
- A teletypewriter (TTY), which is sometimes referred to as a TDD or TT, is a device that allows people who are deaf or hard of hearing to converse over a landline telephone line. Instead of speaking, a deaf person types his or her message on a TTY, which is simultaneously sent to another TTY.
