Going to the Movies with Hearing Loss is Becoming
a Little Easier
For cinema- goers with hearing loss, the movie experience can
be disappointing, frustrating… even a waste of money at
times.
The federal Department of Justice currently has under consideration a regulation to require
movie theatres to show at least 50% of their movies with closed
captions.
Regal and Cinemark movie theatres have both announced that captioning systems will soon be available at all of
its first-run theaters as they convert their current projection systems to
digital systems.
Closed captioning systems chosen by these theatres allow audience members
the option to view the caption on a personal
display device.
Additionally, Sony is in the development stage to build special glasses
that when worn will make the subtitles
appear as if is they are super-imposed on the
cinema screen.
Not all movies are made with captions, however. If you or someone you know has hearing loss, check out
