I haven't posted in a while and I really don't know which category to put this under but I would like to share some information that may interest some:
Due to surgery and NF2 I am completely deaf in my right ear and word recognition in my left is 44%. So going to the movies is usually out of the question. I just wait until they come on DVD and then I use the subtitle menu to read the dialogue. Unfortunately this means I can't enjoy new releases in the theatre with my wife and kids.
But my son heard they have special glasses at some theaters where the subtitles appear on the glasses for the movie you are watching. Sure enough the theatre we went to had these special glasses. I was able to enjoy the movie with my kids and now I don't have to tell my wife to find a friend to go to the movies with, we can go together again.
It was fantastic and another positive for modern technology.
