Free Amplified Phone: Are You Eligible?
Here’s some great news: If you’re a Texas resident with hearing loss, you are eligible for a free amplified phone thanks to the Specialized Telecommunications Assistance Program (STAP). An amplified phone is wonderful for people who are having difficulty hearing while on the phone and can help them communicate better on the phone. The phone amplifies sound, even when you’re not wearing a hearing aid.
The free amplified phone STAP program is made possible because of a tax Texans all pay on their phone bill. So if you’re a Texas resident who is suffering from hearing loss, you should definitely take advantage of this wonderful offer by visiting one of our Hearing Aid Express locations in Austin, Houston or Dallas for a free screening. If you qualify, you will receive an application for a free amplified phone, and we will take care of mailing it for you.
After the application is filled out and mailed in, it takes about six weeks for the state of Texas to mail you a voucher for the free amplified phone. You will want to take that voucher in and pick out an amplified phone that best fits your needs. Keep in mind that just one free amplified phone per household is allowed through this program, and people are eligible for a new one every five years.
Hearing Aid Express is happy to assist you with the process of getting your free amplified phone. We are also always glad to help you with any questions about hearing loss or hearing aids. Stop by one of our stores today, or feel free to contact us. Also, don’t miss the video below to see Hearing Aid Express’ recent appearance on Good Day Houston to talk about the free amplified phone.
