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.

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.

Sure there is.

Sorry, you lose.

Again.

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.

You are a fool.

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

Arny owns a "Dream Home" someone won in a raffle.
