If they would require the audio description equipment to be tested
to be compatible with cochlear implants, that would make it even
better. Where I live, we had a very, very hard time getting AMC to
change their equipment...it got to the point where I no longer want
to go to the movies with my family, even if there's one with audio
description that I would be interested in seeing.<br>

Under legislation proposed Wednesday, the Americans with
Disabilities Act would be amended to require movie
theaters to offer closed captioning and audio descriptions
of films to aid those with visual or hearing impairments.
The accommodations would be required at all showings at
movie theaters with two or more screens.</p>

“More than two decades have passed since the enactment of
the Americans with Disabilities Act, and in that time we
have seen a transformation of our physical landscape —
from curb cuts to wheelchair ramps, buses with lifts to
automatic doors,” said Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, who
introduced the legislation. “However, we still have more
to do. These bills will allow Americans with visual or
hearing impairments to enjoy going to the movies and
watching in-flight entertainment, through captioning and
video description, just as they can at home.”</p>
