Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is a progressive eye condition that damages the macula, the part of the retina responsible for central vision. When the macula is damaged changes in your central vision may occur including: Blurriness. Distortion of images. Potential loss of central vision.
As much of the TRS system, particularly the Internet Relay Services, is open for public use; it is possible for anyone with the proper equipment to place calls. This includes people who are not members of the original intended user group, who are deaf, hard of hearing or speech impaired.
For example, a person with a TDD uses the device to send a message to the relay service who then reads the message. The service uses a second telephone to call the intended party and repeats the message by voice to the recipient. This is truly a great device for use with deaf education.
