CEU Testimonials
“We already recommend Caption Call, but I will recommend caption for TV more frequently. I usually recommend external speakers or a sound bar, because so many patient’s have vision issues. This research showed that patient’s really do benefit from Caption on the Television.”
Debbie

Frank
