MOVIE Theater

Does anyone have any tips for the  movie theater!?

My daughter just started using the roger pen and I was wondering if that would work in movies!?

I did, however, donsome research and find out some movies theaters do accomidate hearing impaired.

There are text based supports for the hearing impaired at movie theaters.

Some movie theaters have individual receivers (many times infra red receivers) for hearing impaired customers.  Some of those receivers allow you to plug in a neckloop or headset.  Technically, you could plug in a Roger Pen.  Whether this will sound good, remains to be seen.

Here is an example of an assistive listening device that has a headphone jack.

 

Options include....

plug a neckloop into the headphone jack and set our processors on MT or T

plug headphones into the headphone jack and keep our processors on M

plug the Roger Pen into the headphone jack and use the Roger receiver- stay on M

If you are in the US, all Regal theatres carry the Sony caption visors. The captions appear at the bottom of your eyesight so you can read what a character is saying while looking at them.

The major chains carry caption device that sits in a cup holder and displays 3 lines of text. You switch from the screen to the caption display.

there is an call Captionfish that locates all theaters near you and what type of device they offer.
