I produce a TV series for NBC Sports and, as the owner of the series, must pay for Closed Captions. They are NOT for just deaf people! They take a bit of “getting used to”, yet I think it’s a great service. USE IT...THE FEDS MADE ME PAY FOR IT! :)
I am not hard of hearing but closed caption has saved my sanity. I have 5 loud boys (and a beautiful girl) that I love but, I haven’t heard a movie or tv show in 18 years. Thank you for paying for this service, even if you are only doing it because it is required.
I am with mom. I almost can’t watch TV without closed captioning. And it isn’t a hearing problem. I have gotten more and more where I do not like loud environments, so I keep the TV volume way down. And read TV.
