She never mentioned it herself.

You're only the second person who owns to having the same problem, the other being a fellow blogger a couple of years older then me, so I was seriously beginning to think it might be a falling off of hearing capacity because of age - leaving one with the mystery you feel too of why it's not being evident elsewhere?<br />You mention TV and I must admit that there are one or two particular newscasters (being a news-junkie, I watch the news on four channels every evening) where I have to turn on the subtitles. I also must confess that virtually all those I have problems with are female, because, I imagine, of their having 'lighter' voices with little bass to them - as well as their refusal to project, which is inexcusable!<br /><br />There are an increasingly higher frequency of films around where I'd be ever so grateful for subtitles. Some of the cinemas around here do have special showings with them, but nearly always for the more 'popular' films.<br /><br />'Apostasy' would have been so much better, I'm sure, if I'd not missed so much of it. And whenever this happens it's hellishly exasperating.Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-71891511107885787342018-08-24T06:22:57.680-07:002018-08-24T06:22:57.680-07:00Well, it appears that I am not the only one who wo...Well, it appears that I am not the only one who wonders why so much of the dialogue in films is lost on me? I also wonder, as you do, why I have not experienced this loss in other areas? I now prefer to watch some films on the telly with "captioning" on. paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02085842904367441128noreply@blogger.com
