I also need to look at lips or have subtitles. My brain has been good at filling in gaps since childhood. When my age was still in single digits I had a lot of ear infections (after my tonsils came out at 2), and my pediatrician told my mom that I was hearing things as if under water.
Between the AuDHD and ear issues, I spent a lot of time anticipating what people would say in a situation, unconsciously memorizing social scripts and patterns of conversation. So I'd end up answering questions before people finished asking, irritating them whether I was correct or not. Fun, right?
