Thank goodness for closed captioning on tv

[TEB]

So I’m catching up with Rachel and now Lawrence ari is pinch hitting for him but yea I have hearing aid. But it is great watching and understanding with the caption as our one son is figuring out Iron Maiden run to the hills on guitar. A whole house and he sets his amp up in family room.
Son - hey dad check this out

Dad - awesome son shine

1. I use closed captioning a lot, too

The speakers on our TV set must be crap, because I have a hard time making out each spoken word. Granted, I have hearing loss as well, which only makes it worse. And I hate to ask everyone to listen to a loud blasting TV.

My husband set it up so I can listen to the TV wearing audio head phones and that is wonderful, I can hear every word and they can have normal volume.

Although I don't have Iron Maiden competing with the TV here like you do, lol

2. Love closed captioning.

Really helps on some British programs.

3. Teb, get one of those outfits that hook into the audio out on the t.v.

and has a set of headphones to listen with. You adjust the volume on the headphones.
I have a set and I can hear the t.v. when it's muted or has the sound on. (We have 2 t.v.s a his and hers. He likes sports and boxing and I like science and other stuff. Mine is muted with the headphones and his is with volume. I can't hear his anyway so we get along great.

You'll never regret it. I can hear it with the hearing aids, but much better with the headphone set.

5. Run fooor your liiiiiife.

Digg a digg a digg a digg a digg a crash! (That's how I spell the drum roll )

[question everything]

7. We watch many British programs on PBS and without the captions

I would miss half of what is going on.

This was a reason why I stopped watching Elementary. It was dark, the hero spoke in a soft voice and I found myself nodding..
