As being almost deaf I use close captioning all the time at home. Before I got my hearing aid at 27 yrs old I missed most public announcements. I relied on friends and family.

I remember well going to a high school rally in the school auditorium. I was wondering why noone was talking or cheering after our principal made an announcement. My classmate told me when I asked that president Kennedy was shot.

I love that some movie theatres now have closed captioning devices.
