    I do sometimes as hearing is not great but sometimes the music is louder than the talking on some shows and can name that tune but not hear a word they say.

    That is SO annoying.

    Can not understand why they play music louder than the person talking. And mostly on the true crime shows.

    Sometimes if the speaker is hard to understand.

     haven't needed to do so yet, but my TV volume is slowly inching upward.

    My TV is 40+ years old and I don't believe I can get closed captioning even if I wanted to.  I honestly don't need it and I do understand the overly-loud music over dialogue issue.  It also irritates me when the character is speaking a foreign language and the translation at the bottom is either too small to read or they use white letters over a white or yellow background.  DUH!

    It is on permanently.  I do not like to watch movies without captions in English, whether the film is foreign or not.
