Deaf are better off using normal subtitles, because those are literally designed to be read while watching the movie.

They have different standards for stuff like how many letters to show on screen at the same time and for how long.

What do you mean by normal subtitles? I have a few Deaf friends and they all like the CC version as sometimes they miss out on the audio cues. Some scenes make no sense without it.
