Background Noise on TV Documentaries.
My hearing is no longer that of a bat and for TV I wear a hearing aid.
No problem, except with every single documentary a continuous and aggravating background noise is imbedded into the program by the producers.
There is no reason for this at all, since most of the time people are only speaking. Sometimes elderly people with frail voices just sitting in their living rooms talking are completely drowned out by this noise.
The continuous noise completely masks both the hosts and participants voices and I just cannot hear them.
Almost every program becomes a nuisance and irritating to watch.
Why the producers ruin every single documentary with this stupid and unnecessary audio abuse is beyond my comprehension.
On occasions the background noise is so bad that I turn the sound off and rely on the subtitles IF there are any.
Over the years various organisations have made many official protests about this anti-social practice, but neither the program producers or the Government have taken no notice.
