Do You Have Trouble Hearing
on the Telephone? |
Florida Telecommunications Relay, Inc. (FTRI) is a statewide non profit

deaf/blind, and speech impaired Floridians. If you experience
frustration using the phone, FTRI may be your solution! Telephone
equipment is loaned to a person as long as needed. There is absolutely
no charge for this service. A surcharge on all landline phones in
Florida pays for this program.

older, and you have been certified as hard of hearing, deaf, deaf/blind
or speech impaired.
Equipment that is loaned:
■ Phones that amplify incoming
sound

the phone rings
