When I'm alone, I watch most everything with subtitles. Not just for this reason, but because the vocal track tends to be really low and the MUSIC and GUN FIRE track really high, so I need to crank the overall sound down. (And, yes, I've turned up my center channel on my sound system to try and compensate for this.)
My Apple TV has a "tone down the explosions" setting, which helps a lot.
Even still, at times I wish I had a volume knob on my remote to swing one way or the other as the scene change in the thing I'm watching. The remote is too slow.
But it's annoying to have these wide ranges. Then you watch a news or talk program or something like that, and the voices are front and center and everything is peachy.
Later, we can talk about how dark things have become on screen as well.
