    Hearing loss affects more than 28 million Americans. Captions and transcripts allow the content of web audio and video to be accessible to those who are aurally impaired, and more broadly, to those who do not have access to audio, or who are in a quiet setting. I liked that this site was more of a how to as well. I also found it really interesting that adding captions to videos made people, with or without hearing difficulties, much more likely to watch the entire video.
