I have a question for those who are Deaf or Hard-of-Hearing, and for the wider disability community at large. It is a question that has been concerning me, and I fear it might be controversial. But I’m not one to shy from asking the tough questions. And I really DO want to understand. So I hope someone can explain it to me.

No Caption On Your Video? I Can’t Get Your Content!
Over the last several days, many people on Twitter posted links to what appear to be interesting videos. Unfortunately, none of these videos were captionned. I am "only" hard of hearing and mostly have no big issues functioning. But phone calls and online videos are two occurences of giving me a really hard time. Hard to subtitle or caption phone calls. Not so hard to caption videos – if the system you use allows it.
