Hello Mike, I voted Other as being DeafBlind I use two older versions of the TTDs together. I hook them up with a phone line together and they work just as fine as the Ubi-Duo. It's eco-friendly and wallet-friendly too if I may say, smile! Yes, it's a lot to carry around but it works good if you leave it at a permanent location. Communication is a must for everyone; a motto I follow at heart. Your blog is bookmarked at my blog, tactile smile!!
