AURORA, Neb. (September 15, 2011) — Hamilton CapTel will celebrate a milestone at AARP's Life@50+ National Event & Expo in Los Angeles Sep. 22 – 24. To date, Hamilton CapTel has facilitated more than 12 million captioned phone conversations for individuals with hearing loss.

"For people with hearing loss, it may seem impossible to have even one conversation on their home, office or mobile phone," said Dixie Ziegler, vice president of Hamilton CapTel. "When you see an individual with hearing loss use Hamilton CapTel for the first time, you can sense the relief and joy they realize when they understand that they can now make phone calls with confidence, that the impossible is possible. That is what makes this milestone so meaningful."

Hamilton CapTel offers a complete suite of solutions for home, office, and mobile telephones that provide real-time, word-for-word captions of everything that is said during a call, similar to closed captioning on television. Solutions include the following:

• Hamilton CapTel;
• Hamilton Web CapTel; and
• Hamilton Mobile CapTel for Android, BlackBerry, and iPhone

"We are proud to have made 12 million captioned telephone conversations possible for so many Hamilton CapTel users," Ziegler said. "Now we're ready to hit 24 million captioned telephone conversations by making AARP's event attendees aware that hearing loss doesn't have to stop them or those they love from placing and receiving phone calls at home, in their office, or on their mobile phones."
