Accessible, Captioned Theatre - Stagetext.org

Have you come across Stagetext?  It describes itself as 'a national charity that brings the arts to life for people with varying degrees of hearing loss'.  A recent article in the Action on Hearing Loss magazine (Winter 2016) shares the great news that Stagetext and Digital Theatre have come together to bring acclaimed shows online, complete with captions, so you can watch on a variety of devices in the comfort of your own home.

Do You Love Films? LOVEFiLM Subtitle Petition for Hearing-Impaired Film-Lovers

If you can't hear a film, and you don't know what they're saying - what's the point?
 
There is a petition asking LOVEFiLM, the major on-demand and DVD rental company, to include subtitles on all their new releases.  You'll find it at Change.org/lovefilmsubtitles - let's hope it encourages LOVEFiLM to consider the 10m people in the UK with hearing loss, and make it clear, at the outset, whether content is subtitled or not. 

If you are interested in services for hearing-impaired people, why not also save www.actiononhearingloss.org.uk to you favourites?
