Yeah, same. For me, it’s better to simply not understand some words than have the distraction of subtitles on the whole time. Or when needed, just jump back a few seconds to hear it again.

We are the same. I compulsively read any text on screen, and miss key visual details because of it. I only want subtitles on non-english speech and Christopher Nolan films

Agreed, the only time I'd want subtitles are translations. And even then it's not optimal

I can see that you don't have hearing damage. Cause I definitely do and can't hear shit out of one of my ears anymore. With subtitles on I can actually hear what I'm watching better.

It's an audio processing disorder thing that some have (myself included). Once you get used to subtitles, you kinda don't focus on them unless you weren't sure exactly what they said. Which is often for me. They just kinda become a part of the audio... unless there's a delay, then they're distracting to me and I'll just blast the sound or watch something else

I used to be the same as you. I guess having kids kind of forced me to start using them. It took practice to learn not to focus completely on the subtitles.

Part of it for me is cuz i am a slow reader and i have rewind the video to read it again
