Washington's Office of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing runs the Telecommunication Equipment Distribution program, supplying amplified phones, TTYs, iPads or iPhones, electrolarynx devices and ring signalers to residents aged 4 and up who are deaf, hard of hearing, late-deafened, deaf-blind or speech disabled. Section 5 of this eight-page application is the professional's certification of the hearing loss or speech disability.
The applicant completes Sections 1 to 4: contact details, family size and income, disability, communication preferences, equipment choice and signature. A professional authorized to work in Washington signs Section 5, checking their profession and giving contact information and any license or certificate number.

Application for Telecommunication Equipment
If your copy of the form is a fillable PDF, upload it once and Vero Documents fills it from the visit note and the chart, ready for you to review and sign. Download, print, or email the finished form, with the patient’s consent.
A form is listed only after its name and number were confirmed on the issuing agency’s or insurer’s own website, or in the form itself. Each entry links to that source. The list was last checked in October 2026. Forms and their requirements change without notice, so check the official page for the current version before you complete one.
Vero is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, the agencies and insurers listed here. Read our editorial policy.
A professional authorized to work in Washington, such as a doctor, audiologist, hearing aid fitter or dispenser, deaf or deaf-blind specialist, nonprofit representative, state agency employee, vocational rehabilitation counselor, occupational therapist or speech pathologist. Others write in their profession and include contact information so the program can verify it.
No. Anyone who meets the residency, age and disability requirements can apply regardless of income. Income and family size only set the applicant's cost on a sliding scale. ODHH sends a letter showing whether the equipment is free or what is owed, and payment is due before equipment is issued.
The application is published in English only, but ODHH will provide it in large print, Braille and other languages on request. Informational brochures about the TED program are available in English, English large print and Spanish.
