Why closed captions are important for those who are deaf or hard of hearing
Closed captions provide a written representation of the audio content in a television program, movie, or other video. They are generally used by people who are deaf or hard of hearing, but can also be helpful for people whose first language is not English or who have difficulty understanding spoken English.
For people who are deaf or hard of hearing, closed captions can be used to, first, follow along with the audio content of a program, and second, to get information about sounds that are important to the plot or action (such as laughter, applause, music, or sound effects). Closed captions can also be helpful for people who want to watch a program in a noisy environment (such as on an airplane) or when the audio quality is poor.In addition to being helpful for people who are deaf or hard of hearing, closed captions can also be helpful for people whose first language is not English or who have difficulty understanding spoken English. This is because closed captions provide a written representation of the audio content that can be read by anyone.
