Is something wrong with my Hearing??

hi bunnybon its the old trick of making us hear whether we want to or not,grrr. the same with the laugh tracks on some stupid sitcoms. i know, I know , some think they are great but anytime someone thinks they have to show me I am supposed to laugh,the sitcom is not a bit funny. thats why the loud music and loud laugh tracks. to me it is insulting my intelligence. I know that in bones And CSI there will be exciting scenes so why drill that into my head? I can think for myself. I like CSI so why overkill with the loud music? grrrr.

I've noticed that, too! It's really irritating--don't they have editors that view the final cuts and make adjustments?! (It's almost like the commercials that blast you out of your chair on the breaks.) I don't even like most of the music that much, especially when they put on the rap stuff--some of the music isn't even appropriate to the mood of the scene!

Yes, i find that on alot of shows. I am so thankful for the shows on the cable stations that repeat. I meant like a half a dozen times between the original showing and the next months episode. So then I get to watch it as many times as I want to and hear it all and understand what happened. Not so on the local stations.

I think there's one reason only, why the background music is so loud. If the viewer has run to the kitchen for a snack, or to the rest room, they network wants them back in front of the tv so that they don't miss the next commercial. The music no longer just sets a mood for the storyline, but is a siren calling us back the the tv.

i were talking about that to my sister last week. i am glad i am not the only one that has notice it.it really bothers me too.maybe they think just these young people watch.

Hi bunny No you are not losing your hearing. It is true that they are making the music louder. My hubby will be watching something and he keeps turning up the tv, I ask him why and he says I can't hear what they are saying. I think the producers get caught up in the sound and forget just how loud it is compared to the voices. Let write and tell them to chill out a little..LOl..I doubt that would do any good..LOL Have a nice evening and keep smiling.

Thank you for your post bunny; I concur. This is very annoying and what is more are the commercials in between! One has to keep the remote in hand at all times so to hear but to then turn the volume down again because the music is blaring. Perhaps the fluctuation in volume is to express suspense, excitement or another feeling by the producers. Perhaps viewers need to group up and lodge complaints to the television stations with a carbon copy to the producers themselves. Just keep your remote handy for now. We don't want to impair out perfectly fine hearing. Cheers and Greetings to you.

i just wish they'd standardize the volume from one thing to another. one channel's louder than another or a commercial's louder than the show i was just watching..it's annoying!

I've noticed that the quieter dialog is much harder to hear. I didn't pay attention to whether it was due to music or what. But I often find myself having to turn things way up to hear some dialog and then way down again.

Hmm. I haven't noticed that happening here (I am a big fan of the Mentalist and Bones myself). I do know that the music seems to get louder during the show when nothing is going on it seems... and boy when commercials come one! Geesh. Wonder if it is a problem with your cable company or something. I can imagine how annoying that would be!

I have a lot of difficulty hearing what they say too, thank god it's not just me -w- that's why I always watch western movies and TV shows with subtitles. Can you believe this? I'm watching it in English and still need ENGLISH subtitles to be able to understand what the hell is going on -w-

Yes u r right it often happens and i wonder if after makign the series if they check it themselves or not? As the background music is so high and loud that it could harm ur ears. One turns the volume up to try to listen what the characters are saying but actaully u r turning the music more loud.

There is defintely nothing wrong with your hearing, because if there is something wrong with your hearing, then the same thing is wrong with my hearing as well. Even moreso than the silly music during the television programs, the thing that really gets on my nerves is when you are watching a television program and you have the volume set the way that you like it and then when the commercials come on, they are so much louder than the volume of the television show that you've been watching.

I have never noticed that. Many times the show I'm watching is at one volume level, and a commercial will come on, it will be so loud, I have to scramble for the remote to turn the volume down.

Well i think it is time for you to see a doctor yea .Take care and no more loud music for you .time to change to country/folk genre yea .

I dunno but I've noticed tv show intro's & some commercials become really booming loud for some ungodly reason. I thought I was loosing my mind on that one & hubby said no he could hear it too.

I haven't noticed that. Guess i will now that u have mentioned it, lol. I know the commercials are alot louder than the regular programs.

Hi bunnybon7, I couldn't agree with you more, and what about the cpmmercials with those noise that is enough for me to mute the tv, people going mad on noise, what is wrong with tv people? Tamara

Hi bunnybon, I have noticed that with the adverts here the music and the adverts themselves have gone really loud again. Since they have gone Digital here everything analogue has gone to pot. Sometimes you can hardly hear the program itself. I´ve noticed that with quite a few I don´t watch all of the but sometimes when they are showing the excerpts the sound is very poor indeed seems like we have gone back in time. Hugs. Sue.xxx

I don't know but I've noticed sometime the music on TV program is so loud but the people still cannot hear. But a few month back, Im experience a problem of hearing which that I can't hear the voice. Then I visited doctor and he said is due to verticol problem. After sometime, its back to normal. I don't why.
