My DC are in their 20s and have bat hearing but they always watch with subtitles.
My hearing has never been great but it's not so bad that I can't hear the TV. In recent years I've got into the habit of putting the subtitles on whatever I watch. At first it was just for programmes where they all mumble, or have strong accents but I find it so much better that I put them on for everything now.
Oddly I still don't enjoy foreign language programmes with titles.

I found them by going to Cc which I didn't realise was subtitles.

What is Cc and how do I find it?

I would have appreciated a reply to my question. Guess you were too busy.

I think that’s what I discovered the other week when I was trying to watch something on my iPad. Having found it on that I then found it on the tv, too. Mind you, I tried to watch Shogun on Disney last night and couldn’t work out how to get subtitles. I assumed that, as a lot of it was in Chinese it would automatically have subtitles but it didn’t!

Sorry Maybee. I arrowed up and found a menu one of which was CC which I hadn't realised was subtitles.
I find doing a search on my phone often gives me an answer to things.

My hearing is not the best and I can hear newsreaders or anything clearly spoken but the quiet passages especially if there is background music is not good.
So most films I do use subtitles.
