Not many people know this but since I was a wee lass, I have had atrocious issues with my ears and essentially, my hearing. As a result, the radio is louder in the car and the television is louder in the house. Unfortunately, my hubby has sensitive ears as do my children so often times, I will turn the volume down to something that is more comfortable for them. That is why I am greatful that there is such a thing as closed captioning. It seems that my family appreciates the lower volume, while I appreciate still being able to understand and comprehend the program. There’s nothing worse than going into a situation and *not* being able to hear what is being said. During many instances in my life, I have had small bouts of anxiety when in a situation where someone is soft spoken.

I use closed caption at our house too at times otherwise I’m afraid it will be to loud and will wake the kids at night.
