The following paragraph was in a local paper. I thought that the
readers of this echo would be interested:
"Moviegoers who suffer from hearing loss are understandably
frustrated in theaters. AMC has just abegun a servicefor the
hearing-impaired in two of its Philadelphia theaters. Patrons who
request the service are given a lightweight headset that plugs into
a pocket-sized FM receiver. If the pilot program draws a positive
response, AMC plans to provide the service on its 1,700 screens
nationwide."

Hi there...am wondering if the headset is for hard of hearing people
or is it for deaf people with some device (or glasses) that one uses
to see captions on the screen that other cannot see? Sorta like your
heads-up displays in fighter jets and so on.
