I think the TV used to be more of a "whole family" activity. I like to keep the sound down and subtitles on as a way to be considerate towards other people in the house.

There was a time when I only watched American TV & movies, and because of Netflix, now it's hard to understand the India accent, or the Scottish, or the Irish... I'm also fluent in Mexican Spanish and don't understand the Argentinian, Colombian, Spaniard accents.
I started when I had a tiny house and we had a baby.
Seems like movies especially are mixed so quiet during dialog, but get so LOUD during action sequences, that I just had to turn it down and read the dialog to catch what I miss.
As I get older and my hearing isn't as great as it once was, I find it's just helpful
