Can you imagine what it is like for a hearing-impaired person? A person with normal (or relatively normal) hearing is able to separate sounds, such as comprehending speech in a noisy restaurant. Turning up the volume just makes it worse. Trying to decipher speech for two hours over the din of purposefully exaggerated sound track makes for an exhausting and very unpleasant experience. The ADA calls for accommodations which, unfortunately, are not always successful.
