I don't think anyone can say that they don't have a problem with their hearing until they have had it tested by a competent assessor.

Most people will start gradually to lose sensitivity to certain frequencies from as early as eight or nine years of age and, depending on occupational exposure to loud noise, this will continue throughout their lives.

Anyone who is experiencing problems with their hearing should first get it tested rather than blaming broadcasters for poor sound quality. If the test confirms that your hearing is 100% (unlikely), then questions about broadcast sound quality are legitimate.

Gus Morris commented about the poor sound quality from the tiny, rear-facing speakers in modern flat screen TVs and I think he is spot-on. We bought a Yamaha soundbar with built-in sub-woofers and a 'clear speech' filter (£99 from Richer Sounds) as we were having difficulty following some dialogue, particularly when drowned out by background music. As the improvement in sound quality with the soundbar is very noticeable, it was well worth the outlay.

This explanation of age-related hearing loss (Presbyacusis) is worth reading: Hearing loss

Does a wife fall into that category? Mine is often heard to say to me ( by others ) "did you hear what I said?", "are you bl**dy deaf or something?"

It's called 'selective auditory response' and I've been using it for years.

I had mine tested not long ago Brian and was given free aids. I have since returned them. They said my hearing was par for my age and not bad. I can tune in normal conversation, except when in a croded area. What's one of those? Oh yes could be a busy pub.
Thank you.

Free aids, that sounds dodgy?

It's definitely not just you Derek, on Radio 2 this morning Micheal Ball, standing in for Ken Bruce I think, commented on how he couldn't watch Happy Valley as he couldn't hear a thing.

I enjoyed the new drama on BBC 1 last night and clearly heard most of the dialogue

Phew, not going to be barred from the forum.

Lulu's nephew was the sound engineer on The Night Manager.

He also did Downton, Life on Mars and a number of others. But not, I am pleased to say Sherlock which I found terrible sound wise or indeed Happy Valley.

Fascinating Charlie thanks. Has he/she any opinions on the other progs or any ideas why they should be so different?

The recently finished, brilliantly produced 3 part drama One Child was enjoyed to the word by me and wasn't it scary?
A new one last night "Murder" was ditched by C and I although we could hear the dialogue clearly but couldn't get into it, very strange - maybe too modern Tristramish production.

We stuck with "Murder" but at the end wondered why we bothered.

I hope Derek (Hampshireman) saw the report by David Sillito on the BBC 1 O'Clock News today talking about TV Drama mumbling.

Also there was this report last week :- http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-39489710

Didn't see it Roger thanks, but did read the Fellows thing. How the "whats it" can the government do anything about it? It's the actors not being able to project, production companies rubbish recording.
We recently enjoyed Reece Shearsmith in the lead of the play The Dresser at Chichester theatre and could hear every word.
