I’m in an endless cycle of watching without subtitles until I reach max frustration with understanding the dialogue, and then with subtitles until I reach max frustration with darting my eyes up and down. Upgrading my headphones did help a lot, but hasn’t completely solved the problem. The fact that so many people feel compelled to use subtitles for a language they speak is kind of absurd.
- kayodelycaon 5y agoI use subtitles all the time because I can't filter out the sounds easily. There's a baseline assumption with a lot of "high quality" movies and television that every member of the audience has perfectly working senses. The sad fact is "low quality" reality TV is much more accessible. Sporting events are also a lot easier because you can hear the people talking clearly. For a more concrete example Star Trek: Discovery is difficult for me to hear and follow everything, whereas the older TV series and the new the animated ones are much easier.
