Massachusetts dialogue clarification specialists ZVOX have developed the AV100 ‘Mini’ Home Theater Speaker System to assist those with mild to moderate hearing loss. The sound bar uses the company’s patented voice clarification hearing aid technology to ‘lift’ dialogue out of TV programming with the result that it translates clearly to the audience, even at low volumes. The bar is 10 inches wide and weighs less than a pound. The AV100 is designed to fit above or below a TV or to be used next to a tablet, and is currently available for sale at zvox.com, HSN.com, Amazon.com and Walmart.com.
“Millions of Americans over the age of 55 suffer from some degree of hearing loss,” noted ZVOX CEO Tom Hannaher. “At ZVOX, we recognized a growing frustration among these folks and developed products like the AV100 just for them. It’s not just seniors having difficulty understanding TV dialogue, it’s an issue endemic with flat-screen TVs and bad audio mixing on programs.”
