I'm disappointed that they've committed so much in the way of resources to allow unlimited downloads before they've committed any resources towards adding the option for captions on the videos. As my hearing worsens I find myself relying on the captions more and more.
Last night I was going to watch my latest Netflix movie, The Madness of King George, but the DVD was scratched and unplayable. I remembered that it was available as an instant download, but I had to have the computer volume up so high as to make the rest of my family uncomfortable. Captions would have made the movie much easier for me to follow.

I'm sure they're working on that (subtitles, chapter skip, etc).
But this was a much simpler change (simply removing a limit), with tons of positive PR value.

Then how would the rest of my family hear the movie?

Headphones, with a Y-adaptor. One side goes to your headphones, and the other side goes to the audio input for your viewing device (TV, or DVD box, or external amp plus speakers).
It does sometimes take some extra equipment to deal with being hard of hearing. Get used to it.
