Does anyone have one? Do you feel that it made a difference?
I'm looking for something for my parents for Christmas, and my father in particular has a terrible time hearing the TV. We've bought him headphones in the past, but he refuses to wear them. I've had people at stores tell me that sound is an issue with flat screen TVs usually, as the speakers are on the bottom. I'm wondering if there was some other sort of speaker, if it would help with the volume issues. I think what happens is that he cranks it up to hear dialogue, and then never adjusts it when it gets loud again. Maybe better sound would let the dialogue be more clear, so it wouldn't have to be so loud?
Obviously there's a hearing issue, but that's a whole 'nother battle. Someone at one of the stores suggested one of the sound bars, but I'm very open to any other ideas. I feel like there used to be something you could get for TVs that would balance out the volume in general, but I have no idea what that was or if I made it up.
