Short Discription:

Closed Captioning (CC) is a great help to people with hearing impairments. CC presents the user with text on the screen that is synchronized with the audio track. Consider using CC any time you have a video that is reaching a large audience.

More Info:

If your content partner can provide closed captioning, then make video content available through closed captioning.
