Dr. Sasha Hamdani explains that Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) affects the ability to interpret heard speech, despite having normal hearing. This can lead to difficulties in understanding conversations, especially in noisy environments.
While some people prefer subtitles, others may not be able to comprehend dialogue without them. Background noise and sudden volume changes can greatly hinder understanding.
A YouGov poll indicates that only 28% of individuals typically prefer subtitles while watching TV, but that preference rises to 61% among viewers aged 18-24.
Symptoms of Auditory Processing Disorder include trouble understanding spoken words in noisy settings, difficulty following verbal instructions, and delayed responses in conversations.
