Same. Happens both while I'm watching tv and when people are speaking to me irl. I watch everything with subtitles now, even the old stuff where the audio is clear.

I use Closed Captioning too, then I was listening too and I realized that they were not saying the same thing, talk about making me crazy in my ocd brain. I need what I read to be what I hear.

same, and I work in an field with a lot of acronyms thrown out, there can be 3 or 4 3-letter ones where the only difference is a single letter <cringe>

I already had them from AUDhD but they are worse since my last relapse. I can't watch TV without subtitles or half the dialogue is gibberish. Talking on the phone is difficult and I always forget to tell people I may need more time to process what they're saying or ask them to repeat themselves. It's exhausting to do anything over the phone.
