ClearCaptions is available to qualified, hard-of-hearing U.S. residents at no cost as part of the Title IV of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). These laws were created to make sure people with disabilities like hearing loss have equal opportunities and access to phone calls – it’s your right! As part of the ADA, The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requires telephone and internet companies to contribute to the Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS) fund. The TRS fund is managed by the FCC and helps pay service providers like ClearCaptions. That’s how we’re able to make captioned calls available at no cost to you.
