TRS Provider: Hamilton Telecommunications
Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) allows people who have
a hearing loss or speech disability to communicate over the telephone with standard
telephone users. Individuals with hearing or speech difficulties use the Internet or a
Text Telephone (TTY) or other assistive telecommunications device to call a
relay center. A Communication Assistant answers the call and
then places another call to the telephone number the person wishes to reach. The
Communication Assistant then translates and relays conversations confidentially by
converting voice information to typed communication and reading aloud typed
messages to hearing persons.
