This is an essential service for all hearing impaired people. If you remove closed captions from DVD movies, you wouldn't hesitate to trip a blind person, nor would you hesitate to take away a crutch from a person with a walking disability. How can anyone be so cruel and heartless just to save a few dollars, and to put someone out of a job?

Please do not removed the Closed Caption from the DVD's movies. It is so much wonderful to have since I am hard of hearing and often times I miss what the person is saying and I can always catch up with the help of the Closed Captions. It also helps improves your reading, grammer and English. Please dont leave us "Wishing we could understand what was being said" We all are human, so lets all be equal.

Closed Captioning is a way of life for a lot of people. It is like sign language for television. My brother is deaf and we as a family have come to realize how hard it is for him. Have you ever tried to watch a good movie and have to stop and explain it to a deaf person ? Well until you do, you need to leave close captioning alone. Close captioning is his way too keep up with the world. It is a benefit for everyone. My son learned to read watching the closed captioning on our television. Leave the closed captioning alone. and keep our deaf and hard of hearing community up to date with the world. they deserve it , just like the hearing community. do not deny them access to cc. thank you and godspeed.

In 1987,I recived a closed caption machene from Pioneer girls of Canada,telephone pioneer corp. I learned a lot since then.. Today I used it for a learning tool for pronouncing and reconizing words,I belive more than 60 thousand Cochlear Implanties,like my self,are doing the same...leave the captions,its doing a lot of good.. My name is Theresa Habekost;deaf at 3yrs,cochlear Implant for 13 years with a recent upgrade to 31 sounds 3 months ago. I find I still need the closed caption to relearn sound with 9 more sounds to get used to. T.V. may have an eratic caption system but movies are always done well thanks to real time captioning. You can contact me any time. Theresa Habekost

I feel that all movies need to captioned for the Deaf. We encounter no closed captions many rentals even including b-rated movies as well as other lower budgeted films. All films need to be mandated to have closed caption under law not based upon whether a movie is low / medium / high budgeted films / especially christian movies. In addition, the closed captions should interpret all background & music as well especially for hard of hearing that can hear the beat of music and wish to know what the words of the songs are. In addition, more movies at the theater need to be closed captioned at more realistic and days and times (not in the middle of the afternoon & the middle of the week). We have right to watch movies on normal date nights / weekend afternoons like other hearing people. Deaf people have jobs too!!! I urge all to sign and fight for our rights & to educate people on deafness and our needs.

B. Carol Maggard said 07/01/05, 3:35 pm (verified)
I was deaf for 32 years before getting the Choclear implant. During those years I missed out on understanding Tv and movies due to no Closed Caption. It wasn't until I was in my last year of High School and College that the Closed Caption came out. Since then even now I am able to enjoy tv and DVD without having to bother poeple with the "what's happening" every 2 seconds. The deaf of America and the world deserve to enjoy tv and DVD entertianment as much as the next person. If there can be foriegn languages subtitles, then there should be Closed Caption. Although Closed Caption is "English", it is now being taught as a "Foriegn Lang." Here is something to keep in mind, Closed Caption isn't just for the deaf but for everyone. There are so many shows and news stations that even normal hearing people use the closed caption to make sure they get all the information. It is also a tool to help read. Especially to learn to be a fast reader. Please "Keep the Closed Caption On." Thank you, Carol

I pray that all DVD to have the Closed Captioned. Also I pray for the Christian DVD too because God's word are very important. I've been asking some ministries if they have the Closed Captioned on DVD and they said not yet or no.Some have Closed Captioned. I believe God for this time to have all Closed Captioned for Christian DVD and DVDs. It's very important to all the deaf people and for the people who need to read for the closed captioned. I'm asking that the closed captioned stay in all DVD of Varietys and Christians and also for all the programs on T.V. including Christian channels. God Bless You!
