Subtitles

Expecto_Patronum

Just interested in people's preference over subtitles. I hear many neurodivergent people say that they find it much easier to watch tv and follow what is happening if they have the subtitles on. I don't find this at all. If there are subtitles, I forget to watch the actual program because I'm fixated on reading the subtitles.

  • I prefer to watch TV without subtitles if I can hear what is being said. Sometimes the background sound, be it music, chatter or whatever can drown out the voices of the main people I need to hear, then I might use the subtitles. I have had a hearing test and my hearing is fine. The TV has a setting which alters how the sound comes out of the TV and I keep it set to “clear voice II”. Unrelated to autism directly, the news today reported that research is looking into possible links between use of noise cancelling headphones and the brain forgetting how to filter out the noise. Are noise-cancelling headphones to blame for young people's hearing problems? https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cgkjvr7x5x6o
