We don't in the US have anything for the blind on tv, guess they can hear whats going on and the TV companys consider that to be enough, although maybe a ladder, and brail running along the bottom of the set might be an invention to make someone rich.
Closed Caption refers to subtitles of every sound even for falling objects and onomatopoeia's while subtitles refer to only the spoken word.Subtitles are normally used sports bars wheres there to much noise for people to hear the game commentary and I guess for deaf people at home.
On East Enders for example a voice will come on and say Jacks behind the bar pouring a pint while Bob takes off his glasses and cleans them, Jack hands the pint to Bob who puts his glasses back on ,looking at the beer Bob says thats a fine looking pint and he starts to drink.
Then it will change the scene,go say to Bobs house, and the commentator will say ,meanwhile back at Bobs house is wife sits talking to her daughter. Then it stops and you just hear the two characters talking like normal.
This is ONLY on East Enders ,no other program on this channel or any other channel, very strange, lol.
