| Yes! I thought I needed it because I am ESL. I hate it when I can’t use them on the plane. Maybe I need noise canceling headphones though |

Never heard this. But I have ADHD and yes I watch with captions on too. I'm going to look into this (while I'm distracted from another task) |

| PP here. For the record, closed captioning is pretty good. Live captioning is terrible. |

Live captioning is for things like the news or sports, something that isn’t pre-recorded. CC is for shows that are scripted like network shows or Netflix. |

Why within the last two years? |

| Only if it’s British or Australian. Otherwise, I tend to read the captions faster than they’re being said, and the pace of the show is thrown off. |

| Often. Some hearing loss. Characters talk really fast, accents, jargon that I am too old to get the first time, etc. |

| Yes. I need the captioning since I cannot understand what is being said sometimes |

| I usually am watching a foreign show, so yes. I need them for Derry Girls too, I have trouble with the accents. I don’t for American shows. |

| Often but only because we have au pairs. It’s helpful for learning English. |

| If I want to read, I’ll read a book. I’m not reading TV shows. |

| Yes. I started with The Great British Baking Show and liked it so much now I can’t watch anything without it. Plus of family members interrupt you can still read the captions without missing a beat. |
