Hearing Impaired and Deaf people

Printacall was established in the early 1980's to provide communications technology to Deaf, hearing impaired and speech impaired people. Printacall has successfully served many thousands of Australians over that time from its retail and service centre in Denistone East in Sydney (near Ryde) and through its Australia-wide network of Printacall Accredited Retailers and Repairers.

To help you hear the TV, radio or conversation

Printacall has a range of personal equipment that will assist a person with a hearing impairment, with or without a hearing aid, depending on the degree of hearing loss, to hear sound with greater clarity.

Personal equipment (small in physical size and usually carried on the belt or in a coat pocket) is used to pick up sound through a small microphone attached to the equipment, sending sound to the ear via the hearing aid T switch

See: Oticon Amigo Amplified Sound System for TV, radio, conversations and meetings
Also see: Sennheiser infra-red & RF listening devices for TV & radio

The same personal equipment may be used without a hearing aid to bring sound to the ear via a stethoscope or Walkman style earphone.
