“I hear so many stories about people with hearing loss avoiding entertainment venues and social events. It’s often tempting to do that, because stepping out can mean going beyond your comfort level. I decided I was not going to let hearing loss define my life. Yet I was still afraid to venture to live theatre. But now, I feel 100 percent comfortable that I will be able to enjoy a show and not experience huge gaps of understanding. I left the theatre with such a feeling of satisfaction. I can enjoy live theatre again! I realized how much I missed it.”

“I can't tell you how grateful I was to be able to use the caption glasses to see The Children! I was a subscriber years ago, but since my hearing loss, I rarely go to the theatre anymore (and I am a member of Actors Equity and a former Barrymore Nominator—so you know I love theatre). I was delighted at how well they worked . . . My husband and I will subscribe next season because I will finally have a chance to enjoy plays once again.”
