I used to work at a movie theater. We did not have CC but we did have hearing assist headphones. If she is just hard of hearing and not actually deaf then that is the way to go. Just tell the person at the box office and they will get you a set or call the manager to get you a set.

You can also call ahead and ask your local theater what they have for hearing impared people.

She actually has an auditory processing disorder, so that would help for sure but cc would be better for her.

i too have auditory processing disorder. going to the movies in theaters is super hard. after getting the diagnosis, it made lots of sense as to why I preferred being at home and need CC

Being hard of hearing isn’t just about volume. It’s also about clarity. Some HoH people can’t hear certain pitches, or they hear low tones so well that they can’t hear anything else… it’s really not enough to just use headphones.
