    Turn it up? You want the neighbors to know we’re watching “My Mother the Car”?

    My pet peeve is when the actors are mumbling in a low voice at high speed. I now need captions to understand what they are saying, even when I am wearing my headphones. Please, can they bring back actors who know how to articulate? The most irritating thing is that I can hear the voices, I just can’t make out the syllables.

    But why don’t they turn the volume up on hearing aid commercials?

    There is one movie channel that has the volume very low. You can turn it up full blast and barely hear it. The good thing is that they only show awful newer movies.

    Don’t know how (or if) it relates to decibels but wife watches her soaps with the volume level in the mid twenties. I’m able to hear at level 7.

    Playing my guitars loud, plus working on noisy printing equipment for over 40 years, I was sure I would be the one who lost hearing first, but no, that would be my wife, who worked in an office…

    My son is a professional musician – percussionist. He began losing his hearing when he was a senior in high school. Now, he’s 34, I’m nearly 68, and my hearing is better than his.

    back in the day I built for an older friend a circuit that took the original audio compressed the heck out of it, so a whisper and a explosion had the same volume, then used an equalizer to attenuate the non voice frequencies.there is probably some software out there that can do the same thing.

    unfortunately closed captions don’t come with person to person conversation. hearing aid technology now makes your wearing of hearing aids invisible to others.

    I have the words on all the time – even when I don’t need them, I enjoy the program much, much more in case I miss something.

    I wonder if we’ll get a whole storyline with Janis getting hearing aids.

    I like the hearing aid ads that go on and on about how you can’t see them. That seems to be very important to the manufacturers. Maybe they can sell them to each other.

    Question for all of us hearing challenged folks. What do you know about the Cochlear Implant? My hearing is getting worse, but I haven’t yet looked into how bad. I’ve met a person who had this done as said it was awesome. It’s also covered by most insurance companies and Medicare/Medicaid. I know I need to learn more before assuming it would work for me, but was looking for info in general. Thanks!

    Why are people so resistant to hearing aids? It’s really no different than needing glasses.

    If you have severe hearing loss as I do, this arc is not funny.

    What I hate is trying to watch a movie and the music over powers the speech. That is bad especially for the hearing impaired as I am.

    As an audiologist I talk to patients all the time about hearing and difficulty in specific situations. Mask wearing has been horrible for a lot of people. TV can be hard since: they don’t always show the face of the person talking so you miss the visual cues, they put way too much background music on a lot of entertainment shows (that’s all pre-mixed at the studio so nothing can really get rid of it, and lastly, if you miss it on TV it’s gone unless you have a DVR that will let you back it up a couple of seconds.

    The most common complaint in not inability to hear, it’s hearing without understanding. I call it the game of cross questions and crooked answers.

    “Hearing without understanding”— Yes! A big problem for me. Captions help on TV but the time lag is annoying. Last year I got hearing aids, which are helpful, but I hate wearing them with masks and glasses. As a result I often skip the aids when I go out.
