Not that it will help, but I have three kids and they ALL do this. I have no idea why they do it, none of them have any issues with their hearing so it makes zero sense.
Personally i find it both annoying and frustrating. I can hear just fine, and having the words on the screen is distracting but they refuse to watch TV without them on?
- tazard 4y agoLots of shows these days have awful audio mixing, going from extremely quiet to extremely loud, and mumbling actors. I use subtitles for these. I don't even notice them on, but if I miss a word I can glance down and see it
- vonseel 4y agoI like watching TV quietly, so others are not disturbed. Also, I absorb information better when I read it. Both reasons why I like subtitles, and I suspect many others do as well. I have no issues with my hearing. I don't like large subtitles, either, but if I can set them to be small, they don't bother me.
- kennend3 4y agoThey do it when we watch tv as a family, so it isn't that the noise disturbs others. The show starts playing, they demand the subtitles be turned on... I dont think watching "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" requires the subtitles so they can absorb information ;)
