[GreenKeys] What does this gadget do??

[Ralph Mowery]

I scrooled down and there were some Q& A . They mention hooking up headsets to it.  I would guess that it is just a plug for the audio.  Here is part of the Q&A

  a.. TTY is an abbreviation for TeleTypewriter. It's a device used by the deaf to "text" messages across an analog telephone line. These days, text messaging has just about obsoleted the device however it remains well-suited to the task. 

  Because the TTY was originally designed for an analog phone system it worked very much like an analog modem; converting "text" into "sounds" that were then re-interpreted back into text at the receiver's end. Both parties of the conversation would have to have a TTY machine. 

  This adapter allows a person to connect a TTY machine to the "analog" audio input and output of the phone.

  b.. A TTY is a special device that lets people who are Deaf, Hard of Hearing, or speech-impaired use the telephone to communicate, by allowing them to type messages back and forth to one another instead of talking and listening. A TTY is required at both ends of the conversation in order to communicate.
