I enable closed captions while watching most movies because of a hearing lose that dates back to my Navy days and living on an Aircraft carrier for 3 years. I have made an observation about speech patterns over the years. Today there is a lot of mumbling, with woman leading the way. When I watch older movies i do not need closed captions because most dialog is understandable. i hate the current trend of having dialog muddled or muffled by background noise. Whisper and crying dialog is also annoying.
