YES!!! I am so glad you are speaking out about this important cause. I use captioning when I watch t.v. or DVDs, even though with my hearing aids, I can hear most of what is said. I prefer to check what I missing that way. Many many people who are "hearing" are actually not able to follow what is said on videos so CC is a fabulous tool for everyone. The revolution has started, thanks to the Deaf community. We are all grateful to you! I am post-lingually deafened (for the last 25 years) – I am now 49. YES!!!

Thanks!! I have sent in requests to news sites, cable sites, video sites and hear nothing in return. I contacted one of our local news sites that show news pieces. These were on tv - captioned - but are on the net without story lines or captioning. Very difficult for many to understand what is said. Thanks for being an advocate for the many of us with a hearing issue. I also know many who fall into the "can't use speakers at work" catagory. Great blog!! Kelly (profound hearing loss) Wow!! Thanks!!
