I don't like having them on unless there are other people in the house talking and I can't hear the sound.

Only when watching foreign language films because being able to hear does not help me understand a language I do not speak.

I keep them on nearly all the time, unless watching sports. We started when my son was a baby and have just kind of kept doing it. Now it is weird to watch TV without them on for whatever reason. But a personal complaint is when the words written don't match what is said. I get it with live TV, but for something that is recorded and the CCTV made for it, there really is not excuse. Netflix has a habit of doing this it seems.

I'm hard of hearing, so I always put on CC, especially with British tv.

I rarely watch movies, mostly operas, which are almost always sung in foreign language, so closed captioning is essential to me to follow the story.

I assume you mean when the words being spoken are at the bottom of the screen? I'm more familiar with those being called subtitles.
If that's the case I never use them. Sometimes I'll watch a movie that features some other language and typically the English is shown. I remember being in a hotel abroad and seeing an English movie subtitled in the local language, which was strange. It wouldn't let me turn it off, which was irritating - part of the screen was taken up with text in a language I couldn't read.
