All TV's have captioning if purchased after 1993. You can turn it on or off with your remote. I keep captioning on my TV all the time. I also use a Pocketalker Pro for listening to the TV along with the captioning. They are sold by Williams Sound Corp. at http://www.williamssound.com.

The Pocket Talker device can also be very helpful in noisy social environments, and when driving in the car. It's a base level device that can work with telecoils in hearing aids when used with a neckloop. They can also be used with ear buds or headphones.
Pocket Talkers are often available for use by patients in hospitals. Good piece of hearing assistive technology! I've found the Pocket Talker to be an eye opener when presenting or talking to people who have hearing loss but no hearing help.
