Hearing refers to the ability to perceive sound through the auditory system, allowing individuals to understand spoken language, environmental noises, and other auditory signals. In the context of accessibility and captioning, hearing impairment or loss can create barriers to fully experiencing audio and video content.

For individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing, captioning services provide an essential solution by offering written text that displays spoken dialogue, sound effects, and other important audio information. This ensures that people with hearing impairments can enjoy and engage with media content just as effectively as those with normal hearing. By incorporating captions into videos, businesses and content creators promote inclusivity and accessibility, allowing all viewers, regardless of their hearing abilities, to fully experience and understand the content.
