A commercial suddenly coming on TV at about twice the volume of the show that was on.

How is that permitted?!?? I have terrible eyesight & my ears make up for it. I think it's even more of an assault to the eardrums for people like me. I cannot stand it!
I haven't had a TV in a while but remember LUNGING for the remote when I knew a show was heading to a commercial. Anything but those explosively loud commercials!

I think it back in the '80s I heard that the FCC supposedly "looked into" the issue of whether the commercials were really louder than the programs, & found "no evidence" of such...which is total BULLSHIT, as anyone with functioning eardrums can attest to...I've always thought, with my knowledge of electronic audio, that they probably just hooked up a VU meter & saw no difference, & declared it was just a myth...what has to be understood is that there are ways of compressing the dynamic range of an audio track, I know this is techie jargon that goes over the heads of many here, but the bottom line is that the ads are tweaked so they will sound louder...most of the shows, dramas especially, will not do that because they want you to hear the full range of sound...the end result is that you turn up the volume to hear someone whisper the dramatic lines that always seem to come just before the break, & then....
BAM!!!!
