Yes. According to ISO/IEC 13818:

audio_type -- The audio_type is an 8 bit field which specifies the type of
stream defined by the table 2-53:

Value  	        Description
0x00 	        Main Audio
0x01 	        Clean effects
0x02 	        Hearing impaired
0x03 	        Visual impaired commentary
0x04-0x7F 	Reserved
0x80-0xFF 	User private

clean effects -- This field indicates that the referenced program element has no
language.
 
hearing impaired -- This field indicates that the referenced program element is
prepared for the hearing impaired.
 
visual_impaired_commentary -- This field indicates that the referenced program
element is prepared for the visually impaired viewer.
