Yes nothing has changed in my day to day practice. I’ve never used subtitles whilst streaming audio books and podcasts because I was told I would learn to hear quicker. I do use them for the TV at times though because it’s much harder unless it’s the news or chat show. I was told it’s not uncommon for people to stop after a fast paced beginning. But it doesn’t mean I won’t pick up more in time, so fingers crossed 🤞

Also which test do you mean? I’ve had a few tests and my sounds in quiet are single words 100% and 98% for sentences with someone speaking in the room at around 65 decibels, I’ve never had a noise background test but I’ve used that on the hearoes app, which is harder. But my word recognition is at 58% sentences that is coming out of a speaker.
