Good News!  Regal Theaters are equipping almost 6,000 of its movie screens with closed-captioning eyewear. (See article in the Los Angeles Times, May 7).  www.LATimes.com/business. The glasses are very expensive , so call ahead to find a local theater that has already purchased them. For someone like myself, who watches TV with closed captioning, this is a blessing. I used this new technology a few weeks ago, and was very pleased....no more headphones with static to worry about.

 I actually found out about this 3 months ago at a Hearing Loss Association of America meeting. www.hearingloss.org.  I recommend checking out their website.  There's lots to learn.  You may also want to see if they have a local chapter in your area.  It's very gratifying to attend a meeting, knowing that all the participants have mutual issues and information to share.

So, go to the movies, and let us know how this new experience was for you!
