I mainly use CC for shows that involve people with accents (I have to use them
for MOBLAND) and shows with hyper-technical language, i.e., BILLIONS and
INDUSTRY.

I've started turning them on if I'm eating while watching. The sound of
chewing in my own head-- particularly anything crunchy, like Doritos-- makes
hearing the dialogue difficult.
