      At many theatres, every showing is a showing with subtitles. You can just ask at the front for a closed caption device. It'll either be a mirror to reflect the closed caption display at the back, a set of smart glasses that show the subtitles, or a little display on a stick.

      In some places there are. By city mandate NYC has open caption showings; they're wonderful, and I always try to book them if available for the movie I want to see. I watch everything with subtitles if possible! Look for showings with "open captions", and that just means they're subtitled even if in English.

      I fucking wish. I don't even have hearing problems but some of the dialogue can be so difficult to understand at times.
