I have very sensitive hearing, and trouble understanding speech. I
depend on closed captioning but it often blocks the screen.

I heard about a product that raises the volume when people whisper and
lowers it when they shout.

I think there are three different ones on the market: "TV Sound
Regulator", another "Audio Leveler", "Volume Stabilizer"

"automatically corrects broadcast volume by adjusting it to a preset
level selected by the you."

I heard that magnavox has a similar technology, but I have a JVC.

Does anyone know if this is a gimmick or if it really works? Which
ones work?

Thank you, from someone with sever hyperacusis.

My Magnavox/Phillips has this feature, and it helps some. It's not enough to
fully equalize or even significantly mitigate the volume differences
difference between CNN and Fox on my (Comcast) cable system, for example.

Arny, ave you tried a hearing aide?
It might help you make more accurate judgements of the timbre of audio
components.

This discussion is about audio, not roadways..

I prefer to do my own hearing, not hire someone to do it for me.

It might help you make more accurate judgements of the timbre of audio
components.

Since there is no such thing as a "judgement", I have no interest in
applying such a thing to audio components.

This question is about volume levels, not timbre changes.

OK, have it your way Weil. Preferred spellings don't matter - everybody
should misspell words early and often like you and the sockpuppet twins do.

Turdborg would only consider a hearing aid that costs at least $1000
so that he could legitimately give it his patented worth-the-money
test. Only if it passed the wipe test would it be fit for insertion
into any other orifices.

Actually they don't when it comes to determining whether a word exists
or not. Any dictionary-approved variation on a word is a "real word".
You've just made the same mistake that Greg Singh once made. I hope
you're proud.

- everybody

It's not a misspelling. And I maintain that you've misspelled far more
words as a percentage of your output than I have.

Than there are the abysmal grammatical mistakes that routinely infest
your posts.

Actually, he would buy it like he buys his homes. Cheap, but needing
massive repairs a few years down the road.

A "Legacy Dream House" won in a *1930s* raffle.

Now I know why he has such a chip on his shoulder - his water heater
is single-ended.

I'm sure he could move it to another lot to avoid a process server.

Not so fast. We have him trained to respond to "****-for-Brains" and
"sack of ****". That took years. If you want to re-train him, it's on
your dime.
