Same here. Actually have hearing that goes a bit above the average hearing for a human (26k) but still have that delightful 24/7 tinnitus that sometimes loves to pretend it's a multi-instrument symphony playing inside my ears.

YES, I HEAR YOU, CONDUCTOR! NO, I DON'T WANT AN ENCORE.

Dammit. He ignored me again.

I have a symphony in the left ear & EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE in the right. I haven’t bothered getting my hearing tested, I just know I rely on subtitles so that the tv is blasting my kid’s hearing…too much anyway.

Subtitles on everything else I have no idea what's going on.

They're great even for the non-hearing fuct, especially given that right now it's quite popular to deliberately make dialogue and background sounds confusing and inaudible as hell.
