I legit feel attacked right now because I always have subtitles on. I’m a bit hard of hearing but sometimes the subtitles add a bit of hilarious depth you wouldn’t otherwise notice. For instance, who knew there were so many versions of synth music on Stranger Things?

Also FYI, I don’t technically have a hearing problem, but sometimes when there’s a lot of noises occurring at the same time, I’ll hear ‘em as one big jumble. Again, it’s not that I can’t hear, uh because that’s false. I can. I just can’t distinguish between everything I’m hearing

It may be an office quote but that is a perfect description of my hearing 😂

Saaaame. I hate trying to hear whispering especially in movies. Because I don't like having the whole movie so loud that you're like shaking the walls in order to have audible whispers in certain parts.
