Young people four times more likely to watch TV with subtitles
According to research by captioning charity Stagetext, four out of five viewers aged 18-25 said they use subtitles all or part of the time when watching TV.
This is compared to less than a quarter of those aged between 56 and 75, who are twice as likely to say they have some form of hearing problem.
The reason behind this shift can be attributed to popularity of social media videos, and streaming platforms, where subtitles are easy to access.
Stagetext provides captions for live and online events like theatre performances and talks.
