While closed captioning (CC) may not be the most 'sexy' feature, it's certainly critical for many people, and not just those that are hard of hearing.

You might also enjoy using closed captioning if:

English (or the language in which the show is being broadcast) is not your first language

English (or the language in which the show is being broadcast) is not your first language The dialogue in the show is being spoken quickly, is being mumbled or is spoken in a heavy accent

You or one of your family members have a learning disability

You want to watch TV silently (like while your partner sleeps)

You want to watch TV in a noisy environment (like while running on the treadmill)

You want to encourage literacy skills in your kids while they get their TV fix for the day
