If you struggle to hear dialog in movies and shows, you’re not alone. There are many reasons why this might be the case, such as hearing impairment, poor sound mixing, or trying to watch without disturbing others. Fortunately, there are several options you can try to improve your viewing experience.
First, check the options in the apps you’re using to watch. Most streaming services, like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, have closed captioning options that can help you understand dialog. Some apps, like Prime Video, even have a Dialog Boost mode that uses AI to enhance spoken dialog.
If changing app settings doesn’t help, try adjusting the settings on your device. For example, the Apple TV 4K has an Enhance Dialog feature, and some Sony Bravia TVs have a Voice Zoom option. Other TV brands may have similar features, but they may be named differently.
By exploring these options, you can find the best solution for your specific needs and enjoy movies and shows without missing out on important dialog.
