My mother-in-law has had hearing problems her entire life. Today, she’s completely deaf in one ear and has about 20% hearing left in the other. Even with hearing aids, she struggles—especially in noisy environments or on phone calls, particularly with call centers where strong accents are involved. I’ve seen her frustration firsthand, often giving up mid-call, or calling me to help resolve the issue.
She relies on reading lips, but that only works if she can see the person directly and the speech is clear. If someone turns slightly, or has a regional accent, she’s cut off. It’s heartbreaking. In crowded restaurants or public spaces, she often withdraws from conversations, visibly isolated by the noise around her.
Then there’s Buddy. His hearing isn’t quite as severe, but it’s still a daily challenge. He wears hearing aids and has little tolerance for unclear communication. When he calls for support—especially tech-related help—he often finds himself stuck in “dial roulette,” calling multiple times until he finds someone who speaks in a way he can understand. It’s painful to watch his frustration escalate.
He doesn’t just hang up—he yells out in anger, emotionally drained, and calls me to help fix the problem. Even in-person exchanges can be difficult; ordering from someone with a regional accent can turn a trip to McDonald's into a stressful ordeal.
ClearCall could be a life-changing solution for both of them. It would be their real-time interpreter, their “ears” in the moments when communication breaks down. It’s about dignity. It’s about being heard.
ClearCall was created for them—and everyone else who deserves to be part of the conversation.

ClearCall exists to close that gap—with AI that helps people feel heard, understood, and included in every conversation.
I spent years working in a large, global call center—specifically on the accessibility team. My voice and annunciation were frequently requested, not because of who I was, but because people around the world—from Japan to Ireland to Australia—could understand me. We handled support for hearing aids, screen readers, and device navigation for individuals who were blind, deaf, or physically disabled.
One client controlled his computer entirely with his voice and tongue. He was quadriplegic. Supporting him wasn’t just a tech fix—it was life access. I worked alongside a team that understood the weight of this work: every call could mean access to independence, dignity, or daily communication. And that responsibility shaped me.
That’s the heart behind ClearCall.
