Do you watch TV with the subtitles on?

When you are watching TV or Youtube or streaming video - do you put the subtitles on?

A recent survey asked more than 35,000 adults about their TV viewing habits and found that watching with subtitles on is becoming much more popular in young people.

Of those surveyed, many said that reading the subtitles on screen whilst watching TV shows or movies helped them understand what was going on, concentrate better and avoid missing important plot lines.

Others said it was distracting and they didn't need them.

According to the findings from the YouGov poll, younger adults are the biggest subtitle fans.

More than half (53%) of 18-24 year olds said they normally watch with them on, compared with 31% of people aged 75 and over.

Traditionally, written words on screen have been used by people who have hearing difficulties, but this survey showed more and more people with no hearing problems are turning the subtitles on.

Surveyors asked people to explain their answers with many saying it was because characters in TV shows are tricky to hear or understand these days.

Some people blamed the poor sound quality on their TV.

And others said that the subtitles meant they don't miss things if their household was being too noisy.
