 "The
HATIS® device worked
perfectly, no problems at all. You don't know how neat
something like this is until you lose your hearing."

 “I
want to tell you that it’s so important for the
President to encourage the development of new
communication technologies which are improving the lives
of people with disabilities and other Americans. As a
matter of fact, I’m using one of these technologies (HATIS®),
which is a hearing aid device, and I put it behind my
hearing aid so that I can hear you better, and it’s
really neat, and I can talk to you right now, and
everybody can hear it.”

"HATIS® gives the hearing impaired community access to
emergency communications and allows them to have the
security and personal convenience that cellular users in
the hearing community already have."

"As a military veteran with a 80% hearing impairment, I
would like to call attention to a device I recently
discovered. I believe the VA should emphasize its
distribution and use throughout its hospitals and
agencies. The device is the Hearing Aid Telephone
Interconnect System. For the past twenty years, the VA
has provided me with many devices that have worked
marginally at best. Recently, I was introduced to HATIS®.
It allows the hearing impaired and deaf to use
telephones, TVs, stereos, computers or anything that
emits electronic sound. At first I was skeptical, but
when I tried it, I heard clearly for the first time in
twenty years. Since then, I have retrofitted my
telephone handset and am now able to carry on a
legitimate conversation without any assistance or relay.
My quality of life has improved tremendously and I can't
tell you how much I look forward to retrofitting my
television set."

"I want to update you on how the HATIS® cell phone
system is working for me in Charlottesville. I've
purchased the MicroTecII phone to use with HATIS®. The
match is perfect. Now, I don't worry about missing a
call or getting caught in a bind without access to a
telephone. As Vice President of the Charlottesville
Men's Senior Baseball League, a Little League baseball
coach, and a Cub Scout leader I virtually live on the
road from one activity to another (not to mention
frequent job-related day trips). In other words, I now
have the same capability to use cell technology that
everyone else does.
Actually, using HATIS is an improvement in many ways
over conventional cell phone use. Since I don't have to
hold the phone next to my ear while driving, I have full
vision while talking using HATIS. Because of the
placement of the microphone, I can lay my cell phone
across my lap when in use, which leaves both hands free.
Hence, HATIS is quite safe and easy to use in traffic.
Finally, I'm not waiting for the next generation of
assistive listening devices to surface, because HATIS is
the next generation. When signal strength is average to
strong, I have better reception than on many
conventional telephone hand sets.
In closing, HATIS has been a godsend. It's affordable,
convenient, and works well--everything I could want in a
product. Plus, it gives me (a hearing impaired person)
the opportunity to make full use of the same cellular
communication that the hearing world takes for granted.
Thanks... You hit a home run this time."
