What’s the difference between closed captioning(CC) and subtitles?

Subtitles are used to break language barriers. For instance, an Asian who doesn’t understand English can turn on the subtitles while watching an English movie. On the other hand, closed captions are for viewers who are hearing impaired. 

Closed captioning does the work by describing these sounds to the audience who cant hear.
