I am sorry to read of your hearing loss. Rush has an implant for his...so I would hope he is sensitive to the hearing impaired audience. I am not a subscriber to his 24/7 podcast...but I am wondering if there is possible closed captioning? I know he refers to Dawn (one of his staff) who transcribes the callers comments to him (in real time) incase Rush has difficulty hearing/understanding them.

I knew about Rush's implant. Nerve deafness can't be ‘cured’. I use captioning for TV but doubt I'd ever use it for a three hour radio show, lol.

If you can listen to him, you can be driving or doing many other things, but with caption you have to sit and watch constantly.

I hear about the ‘important’ things on the threads, so that's good. Thanks for writing!

Rush has the audio download, the audio-video download (without closed caption) and the transcript is available as HTML text.
