I've given up on trying to watch tv without the subtitles these days. It got to the point where it felt like I was playing with the volume all show, and not actually watching the show anymore. Quiet talking scene, turn it up. Flip to commercial, mute before it blows my eardrums out. Back to talking, turn it up. Flip to action scene, turn it down. Emotional resolve with soaring score in background...fuss with it. Furnace kicked on, turn everything up.

Since I've started using subtitles, I actually WATCH the show now.
