As a non native English speaker, this is incredibly frustrating. I’m perfectly able to understand words, meaning, context, accents and even cultural references but so many dialogues in movies are just drowning in background music or noises - or sometimes the actors simply mumble. The latter is soooo annoying!

The biggest question though: Can you understand what anyone is saying at any time?

As someone with hearing loss I second this. Reading lips often helps but when an actor mumbles, their lips barely moving, I lose almost all of what’s said … then must rewatch the clip 5 or 6 times to understand what’s being stated.
I do use subtitles but streaming doesn’t always have the sub file available either.

2nd question: how long does the deafness last after the atomic bomb explosion?
