You would be amazed how often I hear hearing folks do not want captions on the screen. It is bothersome to Them . Open captions at theaters ( broadway style) normal hearing friend would say it’s distracting . If to the side - the deefie - me do not like that because of visibility issues. And when I leave tv captions on after I left the client’s house ( dog/ cat sitter) I get asked how to turn the darn thing off ( only 2 houses were appreciative of finding they have it in my 25 years of business .
The devises are the fair way. Some movie theatre have done captioning on the screen for all for the deaf to enjoy. Rarely now though.
