"The government is readying new regulations that will require theaters to install equipment that will enable deaf and blind patrons to enjoy the movie experience just like hearing and seeing patrons. For the seeing impaired, there are headsets that verbally narrate the action on the screen. For those with hearing loss, glasses that provide closed captioning will help them keep up with the dialogue. This equipment requires that theaters convert to digital, which most theaters (about 90 percent) have already done, at a cost of approximately $70,000 per screen."
