Who is it designed for?
We recommend it if you:
- Aren’t ready for hearing aids or implants
- Need captions or lip-reading despite using hearing aids
- Frequently forget, misplace, or avoid wearing hearing aids
- Are at risk of social isolation
- Want captioned tele-audiology (with or without video)
Suitable for All Types and Levels of Hearing Loss:
- Mild to profound hearing loss (conductive, sensorineural, or mixed)
- Partial or complete deafness
- Tinnitus, ear conditions, or ruptured ear drums
Registered Communication Aid:
The Konnekt Captioning Videophone is also sometimes classed as a communication aid for impaired hearing, a speech to text phone, a communication device for Deaf or deafness, a hearing impaired phone, or a phone for deaf people.
It is the ideal replacement for transcribing apps, talk to text apps, a TTY phone, teletypewriter phone, or other legacy caption calling phones.

Audiologist Recommendation – Hearing Loss
We recommend the Konnekt phone to our patients as it is extremely helpful to have the vision aid of the captioning and to be able to see the caller’s face when they have a hearing loss.
As many of our patients are elderly, they find that it is much easier to use the larger buttons of the Konnekt phone than a traditional handset.

Peace of Mind with Do Not Disturb Mode
Our new video calling system, powered by CareWindow, now includes a Do Not Disturb mode — giving users and carers more control and peace of mind.
When enabled, this feature temporarily silences incoming calls, helping reduce interruptions during rest times or important appointments, while still allowing trusted contacts to leave a message. It’s just one more way we’re making communication more respectful, reliable, and user-friendly.
