What Other Veterans Say About Us   

Ron

Vietnam veteran

“I didn’t realize how many words I was missing in day-to-day conversations until my wife pushed me to try CaptionCall. Now, I can understand what my grandchildren are saying, instead of smiling and nodding blankly.”  

Dani

Gulf War veteran

“Not sure what I would have done without access to CaptionCall during the pandemic. Shifting to telehealth and remote work highlighted my need for captioning services. The install was quick and easy, and it’s so easy to use.” 

Joe

WWII veteran 

“I love it. I’m 93 with only 6% hearing in one ear and 30% in the other. I have had a very hard time talking to anyone, especially when they talk too fast. This is a very helpful communication tool and I’m so thankful to have the use of it. I quite likely lost most of my hearing as a result of mortar and artillery shells landing near me in WWII.”
