Closed Captions (CC), Subtitles for the Deaf and Hearing Impaired (SDH) or simply Hearing Impaired (HI) are different names for the same thing.
Further information can be found at wikipedia here.
A subtitle for hearing impaired (i.e. deaf) people looks like this:
[Groans]
[Door opens]
[Cheering and applause]
POLICE OFFICER: Stop!
Jack: Hi.
Susan: (muffled) Help!
If your subtitle does not have similar descriptions of noises and names that indicate who is talking, then IT IS NOT HEARING IMPAIRED
So the same subtitle (NOT hearing impaired!) would look like this:
Stop!
Hi.
Help!
See? No names with ":", nothing in brackets () or [, no description of any noises.
Please make sure that you use the correct tag for Hearing Impaired from now on. Thanks.
