    Star Wars The Force Awaken in subtitle somewhere? Flint or Saginaw area?

    I want to watch this movie but none of the local theater has subtitle or caption technology. I am wondering if any of you know if there's a theater in Flint or Saginaw area that has SW7 with subtitle? Already watched this once, yesterday at 7 and I want to watch it again. :D The book based...

    Just got new smart phone need help with TTY

    It's been oh about 15 years since I've had a working TTY. When it broke, pay phones were already becoming rare and if I needed help on the road, I was more likely to get someone to call for me than to make a call myself. So I never got a replacement TTY. I got a cell phone a few years later...

    Amazon screwed me again with inaccurate info

    A few months ago I had problem with Robotech set. They ate the return shipping and gave me full refund but oddly they have never fixed the error in description. This time it's with Digimon set. I got the 4 season box set because Amazon had listed it as English subtitled. I tried them on my...

    harassing call help

    I hope this is in the right section. I've been getting voice mail every day for 2 weeks now and being deaf, I use my cell phone only for text messages. So I had to have someone check the voice mail. All legit business (doctors, banks, credits, etc) have my parent's landline number since...

    Inaccurate info on Amazon- not subtitled!

    I got a Robotech Complete DVD collection (20 DVD set http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ERH1718/ref=) that was just released a month ago. According to Amazon, it has English and Spanish subtitle but when I tried playing it, there is no subtitle anywhere. Not in DVD menu, not with remote...

    What deaf movie is this? trying to remember

    It was a long ago, I watched it while I was in elementary school so it would be around 30 years ago (late 70's or early 80's). For some reason a few of the scene popped in my mind and it's been bugging me. It featured a deaf boy who had a hard time with speech and eventually befriends an...

    Cell phone with built in TTY?

    Is there such thing as cell phone with built in TTY? I'm considering replacing my old phone and I could get any regular phone but to carry a separate TTY seems redundant if there can be one built in cell phone.

    DVD and Blu-Ray subtitle rant

    Why is it that when shows are on TV it has closed captioning but when it's released on DVD, it doesn't get any? Take for example, Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmare. It's fairly new and not very old series so no reason not to include subtitle. It's not just newer series, older series were...

    Doorbell for the deaf suggestion?

    I am deaf and I would like to have a flashing light when someone uses the doorbell. It will need to be able to connect to existing doorbell as I have other people in my house who are hearing. The flashing light would be useful for when I am alone in the house and someone needs attention...

    problem with battery powered TV for bad weather

    In the past I had a portable TV that could pick up local TV stations with the antenna but with the change from NTSC to ATSC I have a problem. There is no cable service in my area, the nearest TV station is around 40 miles away and with ATSC I can't pick it up at all on my portable TV (yes it...

    Hi!

    Just found this site so I thought I'd sign up and post here. I've been deaf since birth (1973), my hearing loss is quite severe with loss in 100dB range. However I was raised to speak (no ASL) and I'm quite good at talking... if I talk. I don't usually talk much anyway. :giggle: I...
