"TV Sound Regulators" -- a gimmick? (RAO)
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. |

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. |

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. |

Preferred spellings don't matter 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 should misspell words early and often like you and the sockpuppet twins do. 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. |

Cheap, but needing massive repairs a few years down the road. |
