HLAA Convention Exhibits #6 - Micropower Battery, SoundAid Hearing Aid

Warranties, Hamilton CapTel

By Marla Dougherty, 6/27/11

Micropower Battery Company

Another new exhibitor to the HLAA Convention this year was the Micropower

Battery Company. Each convention bag had a gift card for a trial pack of

batteries, so visiting their table was first on my list!

Micropower Battery Company is a wholesale, direct to customer distributer

and retailer that represents 9 battery manufacturers. Online sales at

Microbattery.com can save up to 1/3-1/2 off store purchased batteries. There

is a lower price for specialized batteries when you purchase large

quantities. Other small batteries such as watch and camera batteries are

sold by Micropower too. http://www.microbattery.com/

SoundAid Hearing Aid Warranties

Concerned about damaged or lost hearing aids, or the cost of repairs after

the original warranty has expired? SoundAid Hearing Aid Warranties offers

three types of coverage and three rate schedules. If the hearing aid is

lost, it will be replaced with the same make and model. For repairs, the

hearing aids are sent to their factory in Alabama via a shipping package

SoundAid provides.

Visit their website at warranties@... to see if there is coverage

to meet your needs. HLAA members receive 10% off.

Hamilton CapTel

If you are familiar with the CapTel telephone, you know it is a free relay

service that delivers real-time captions so you can read what the caller is

saying.

You can also get the captions on your computer screen with Web CapTel. All

you need is a high-speed internet connection and any available telephone. It

is a convenient way to use the telephone at work or home.

At the HLAA convention, Hamilton CapTel presented their newest service, the

Mobile CapTel which is available with compatible smartphones. After a

one-time registration, you can easily download the free app to your

smartphone. Stay connected while you are on the move using the speaker phone

and reading captions or use a hands-free headset that works with hearing aid

and cochlear implants. http://www.hamiltoncaptel.com
