TV dialogue audio has become harder to hear for three big reasons:

• TV Hardware Limitations
  Today’s flat-screen TVs have amazing image resolution—but terrible sound fidelity. Ultra-thin designs leave no room for proper speakers. Most use small, rear- and/or downward-firing drivers that bounce sound off walls and surfaces, making speech feel distant, dull, and muffled. Natural speech is directed directly at the receiver.
  
  
• Content Mixing / Quality Degradation
  Hollywood prioritizes cinematic drama over speech clarity. Dialogue is often treated like just another track in a dense mix, competing with music, sound effects, and ambiance. What’s clear in a studio often gets lost in your living room, especially with streaming services built to deliver content favoring data compression—not quality.
  
  
• Human Hearing Challenges
  As we age, it becomes harder to hear mid-to-high frequency sounds—especially consonants like “s,” “t,” and “f.” According to The Lancet, 1 in 3 adults aged 65–74 has hearing loss. By 75, it’s 1 in 2.

Conventional sound bars often neglect dialogue clarity, focusing instead on bass or flashy features. AccuVoice speakers are built with one goal: making voices easier to understand. Whether it’s a whisper in a drama or fast-paced football commentary, you’ll finally hear every word.
