- 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 :-)
