How can I go about getting an Interpreter?
The Nebraska Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (NCDHH) licenses sign language interpreters statewide to ensure quality communication access for all Nebraskans.
How can I contact and use the Nebraska Relay Service (NRS)?
The Nebraska Relay Service allows deaf and hard of hearing people who use a TTY to communicate with hearing telephone users. The NRS communication assistant (CA) or operator relays the information between the two parties. The CA will say what the TTY caller types and types what the hearing caller says. All states now offer statewide telephone relay services. In Nebraska, TTY callers may dial 1-800-833-7352 (TTY) or hearing callers may dial 1-800-833-0920 (VOICE).
