We are behind in offering equal opportunity to those with disabilities. The deaf and hard of hearing population is excluded from enjoying movies in theaters the same way the hearing do. As a hard of hearing person, I have experienced the issues first-hand, and I offer a solution.
Currently, local movie theaters offer closed captioning devices that hide captioning from the rest of the audience. The devices are faulty. They provide spotty or no captions, and are often uncharged, or broken. The captioning glasses are heavy, uncomfortable and provide small text which is especially difficult to read if you move your head.
