Interesting thinking about this being connected with young people using subtitles all the time. I've been using noise isolating and active noise cancelling earbuds and headphones for a good 20 years while working in noisy cubicle farms, open office plans, and working at home with kids around, and I don't think I have the problems cited here. Is it an age related thing? I didn't start with the headphones until I was in my mid 20's

For what it's worth, I've used subtitles whenever possible ever since that became a thing, more or less with the advent of DVDs, which was in my teens to twenties. But I do also have childhood hearing damage in one ear.
