The Telephone Equipment Distribution Program
We know that using the phone can be difficult for Minnesotans who live with hearing loss and speech disabilities. It can be harder to do many important things over the phone, like activating a bank card, scheduling a doctor's appointment, calling a repair service or staying connected with friends and family.
The TED Program provides FREE assistive phone devices to eligible Minnesotans who have difficulty using a typical phone due to a hearing loss, speech or physical disability.
Devices for people with hearing loss include:
- Amplified phones that allow the user to increase the volume and adjust the tone of the other person's voice. Amplified phones are available in landline and cell phones.
- Captioned phones that caption what the other person says and displays the text on a large screen. Captioned phones also have adjustable volume control.
Devices for people with a speech disability include:
- Electrolarynx devices, which create vibrations the person can use to generate speech sounds.
- Voice amplifiers to amplify soft voices.
- Cell phones to use text and other phone accessibility apps.
TED Program applications are available in six languages!

Reforms are emptying Louisiana’s prisons. This group makes sure no one goes back
When released prisoners touch New Orleans soil, many of them head straight to First 72+, a beehive of advice and assistance where someone can secure a ride, food, a bed or lightly used clothes. The phone number for First 72+ is posted in many prison dorms and jail cell blocks. In addition to walk-up clients, the organization receives formal referrals from public defenders, probation and parole officers and prison officials.
