Findings demonstrated that captioning services were associated with improved performance for college or post-graduate students who are deaf and hard of hearing in a majority of studies (5 of 7). Dependent variables measured within included studies were retention of material, working memory, and comprehension of covered material. Results should be interpreted with caution due to an overall paucity of evidence, small sample sizes, heterogeneity between studies, and potential risk of bias. Further research is warranted.
