Hi, Ciara.

The HBO programs are really hard to hear voices in the background and other sounds to the fore.

I have found myself in recent years putting on subtitles to watch movies because I am finding it so difficult to follow the conversations.

And I thought it was just me and perhaps my hearing not being as good as it used to be.

But was there sort of a movement to to make conversation realistic?

Because, you know, a lot of people don't articulate their words as clearly, perhaps as they should, which is making me very conscious of how I am speaking right now.
