The movie theaters in our area are all Regal theaters and they recently announced that they will be providing their captioned glasses for all their theaters (http://pro.sony.com/bbsccms/assets/...ertainmentAccessGlassesPressRelease_Final.pdf).
My (hearing) fiancé and I set aside every Saturday for our date night. We usually cook dinner together and watch a captioned movie at home.
BUT, I saw that Jurassic Park is coming out in 3D and mentioned it to him and he agreed that going to see that would be an awesome date night.
So, we researched the theaters around here and called the closest one.
My fiancé asked if they had the Sony captioned glasses for deaf viewers. The lady apparently replied "the glasses are for the blind. The deaf have headphones."
My poor fiancé couldn't stop laughing so he thanked her and hung up.
It is a bit funny that movie theaters think that they are "accessible" because they provide headphones for the HOH (never mind that headphones are useless for me since with my super power BTEs headphones cause feedback and without them I can't hear).
