Is this a thing? Who is "we all"?
That said, I do have this problem with some older movies. Every time I've watched the first Pink Panther movie I always have the urge to get up right next to one of my speakers so I can actually make out the dialogue in half of the scenes.
It's definitely a thing, especially in anything that has action these days. If you keep the volume up loud enough to hear the dialogue, then you will be deaf when the next explosion or whatnot happens. But if you keeps the volume at a bearable level for the action scenes, you can't hear any of the dialogue.
