I have used two types of devices. One was a device that when into the cup holder which was not the greatest in my opinion because you more or less had to look down at it and not up at the movie. I have also used glasses that have the captioning in them. Those were a lot better. For the Broadway show it was another device that you had to hold to see the captioning and again was hard to watch the show on stage when looking at the captioning. That was over 10 years ago. Not sure if things got a little better there. I have never used loops and I’m sure that could be an option but even with the streaming to my aids I still like to have captioning so I don’t miss things. Especially helps with musicals and trying to understand what they are singing.
