I wear hearing aids (HAs) that have a bluetooth connection to my phone.
It rings via the HAs and all the audio I/O works through them. Some of
them require an added device to make the Bluetooth connection but they
work great. This may/probably depends on the make and age of the HAs
but it is certainly worth checking into.

My 90+ year old mother-in-law wears hearing aids, but can not hear a phone
call, even with amplification in the headset. I have seen the speech to
text phones on Amazon, but the reviews say they can be slow and there is a
human operator listening in on the call typing the messages.
I was wondering if there are any FOSS solutions for converting speech from
a phone call to text so that we can communicate with her on the phone. She
does not have a cell phone and does not want to learn how to use one, so
texting is not an option. She has internet and wifi in her apartment and a
phone line. It would have to be super easy to use, as she is not
tech-savvy. She is local, so I could set it all up for her.
Thanks!
