Sonia,
I am nearly deaf and this is what I do. I have a Tdd phone and use the voice carry over in all my calls. The operator acts as my ears and types what the other person is saying, and I reply vocally to the other party.
The relay operators numbers that I have are: 1-800-326-6868 tdd and 1-800-326-6888 voice.
Before I discovered this I was always frustrated when it comes to making telephone calls to conduct business. And this has been a God Send to me.If you want more info and help or suggestions regarding how a deaf or nearly deaf person can work the Real Estate business let me know and I can share some of my experiences. A person that is hearing impaired has to put up with a lot more than people with normal hearing does.
