I\ Gordon Hlavenka says:

This is not _always_ the case.  In fact, I recently watched a
commercial which appeared to have been deleberately processed in such
a way as to make the words _difficult_ to understand.  The overall
volume (composite power) was reduced, and the high frequencies were
noticeably rolled off.  The product?  Beltone hearing aids :-)
(Their 800 number was on the screen in large print throughout...)

They probably turned down the volume to make people have doubts about their
hearing.
