I love foreign films and enjoy using subtitles
I use subtitles on TV for everything apart from the news programmes and I find it very easy to watch and read at the same time

I'm quite the opposite of you. I thoroughly enjoy foreign films with subtitles. I still have the sound on as I like hearing the language/inflection in the voice etc. Most of the dramas and films I watch are foreign.

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.
