AURORA, Neb., Jan. 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Consumer Electronics
Show Las Vegas Convention Center Booth #2910. For the first time,
Hamilton CapTel® will
demonstrate the CapTel 800i® captioned telephone for more than
100,000 attendees at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las
Vegas January 6 – January 9, 2011. In addition,
Hamilton CapTel and TV Ears debut their marketing partnership while
exhibiting together at CES. Through combined efforts, the companies
will jointly reach millions of Americans who experience hearing
loss, informing consumers about the technology that is available
through their respective companies.
In Booth 2910, under the Silvers Summit banner, Hamilton CapTel
and partner TV Ears will demonstrate the CapTel 800i telephone
– allowing attendees to experience telephone captions
first-hand at the show. The CapTel 800i provides real-time,
word-for-word captions of what is said over the phone on a bright
screen built into the phone. As a result, the user can see what is
being said, ensuring superior clarity for both parties on the
call.
“More than 30 million Americans suffer from hearing loss,” said
Dixie
Ziegler, vice president of Hamilton CapTel. “Our technology
takes the frustration out of trying to listen to what is being said
on the telephone. Users can ‘see what they say’ using the CapTel
800i and we feel that CES is the perfect venue to demonstrate this
life-enhancing technology.” “Partnering with TV Ears, the
leading brand for wireless TV listening devices, makes good sense
since the two products complement each other and enhance the lives
of individuals who may experience difficulty hearing on the
television as well as over the phone,” says Anne Girard, director
of marketing for Hamilton.
“We’re delighted to include Hamilton CapTel in our exhibit this
year. The synergy
