I don't have any hearing impairments but just prefer to have my devices muted at all times. I find this style of subtitles far easier to read and pace naturally. Rather than being unable to keep up I could read it much faster, even. My limit based on that speed reader site linked in another comment seems to be somewhere between 600 and 700 words per minute.

this really intrigues me. so you also do this with movies/TV shows?

is it a sensory thing?

(practicing Spanish... don't mind me. por cierto, estoy abierta a la crítica.)

Este me intriga mucha. ¿lo haces con las películas y programas también?

¿es una cosa sensorial?

Last question first, yes, kind of. I have some degree of misophonia and hate most extraneous noise. This also extends externally perhaps just as a matter of empathy and makes me uncomfortable when making noise. My partner even complains that I move too quietly and startle her quite often.

To be more specific I prefer my portable devices to be always muted, which is where I consume most short-form content.

For longer content, like movies and shows, I'll generally not be consuming that portably. Though I still strongly prefer to wear headphones so that I'm the only person who hears it.
