DEFINITION OF LOOPING

A hearing loop is a wire that circles a room and is connected to a sound system. The loop transmits the sound electromagnetically to the telecoil (t-coil) in a hearing aid or cochlear implant.

WATCH MOVIES WITH CAPTIONS AT AMC & REGAL THEATERS

Captioning, which has long been required on television, is also available at AMCand Regal theaters.

AMC offers CaptiView, a goose-neck device that fits into your seat’s cup holder and displays all of the movie’s dialogue in text. Regal provides Sony Entertainment Access glasses, which resemble 3-D glasses. Captions are projected onto the glasses, and appear to float about 10 feet in front of the user.
