My focus as an ASL interpreter is not on people's audiograms; whoever uses my services is somewhere along the spectrum of deafness, from moderate to severe hearing loss. Since ASL is a language, and the people who use it constitute a culture, my viewpoint is cultural. Lots of people who use ASL interpreters can hear well enough to talk on the phone, but they still see themselves as culturally deaf. If you don't see yourself as culturally deaf, I understand, and I'm sorry if I left you out. For practical purposes, though, if you need closed captioning, you need closed captioning. It doesn't matter how much you can hear. Ron: I know that many hard-of-hearing people don’t think of themselves as “deaf,” but when I say deaf, I include hard-of-hearing people.

I glad to see CC on Google I just hope it spreads to all the others. It is frustrating to see a report on BBC and the like and know you can't watch it because it is not closed caption. Hi:

It didn’t really start in a noticeable way until 1980. Closed captioning started in the U.S. in 1979, though there were very few programs. It didn’t really start in a noticeable way until 1980.
