In fact, I urge ALL List members to order this catalog - it's THAT useful! LOTSA neat gadgets for the visually impaired, hearing and speech impaired, arthritic, disabled, and just plain curious! GREAT asset to daily living and prolly the largest selection of items anywhere!

My Mother (PD, 82 years old) has almost lost her voice--very low volume. We would like to buy her something to amplify her voice on the telephone (she has stopped calling her friends because of her weak voice). We can find a million things to amplify hearing but nothing to to amplify the voice transmission on a telephone. ANY SUGGESTIONS OR IDEAS OF WHERE TO FIND SOMETHING THAT WOULD AID HER WILL BE APPRECIATED! Jim email: [log in to unmask]
