HI Ryan,

Thanks I'll check that out but guessing our theatres are going to look at me 
cross eyed when I ask for that.

Nope, but if you're visiting one of many chains that now offer audio 
description, just borrow a device from their customer service desk. As an 
example, where I live in San Francisco, AMC, Century, Alamo Draft House, they 
all have listening devices available. My suggestion is to get there early, ask 
for a device, and repeatedly insist that they make double, triple sure that 
they chose audio description, video description, visually impaired, or whatever 
their software suggests isn't assisted listening. Assisted listening is when 
the movie's standard soundtrack is instead fed to the device. This helps 
hearing impaired individuals enjoy the film. Many connect the device to a 
hearing aid, or to a streamer that sends the audio to their Bluetooth hearing 
aids. Clearly you just want that audio description track, so if you get into 
the theater and the audio you hear in your headphones matches the house audio 
playing for the trailers, go right back out and insist they chose assistive 
listening, and ask them to reconfigure.

Good luck,
Ryan
