Whatever the reason, a lot of people struggle to hear dialogue now, so turning on closed captioning to decipher what people are saying has become a no brainer move.

Many shows are mixed for surround sound where there's a dedicated centre channel where the dialogue comes from. This is the main reason people can't hear the dialogue.
