I wear hearing aids. What is a zbar? I tried a search but didn’t have much success. Thanks.

It has settings where you can lower the amount of background noise, music, etc.. But brings out the voices. Kind of like when you’re in a busy restaurant and all the other people speaking or music going you can’t quite make out the conversation of people you’re talking to. If they dropped the music volume and a lot of the people stopped talking. Also it helps keep the volume even when they go to a commercial or when a show might raise the volume for the effect.

Before my wife passed away she would gripe about the volume. After I got it I could lower the volume and still hear the voices. She appreciated it.

It’s not perfect but helps. It has a lot of combinations to try to match it to your hearing. One button may have 3 levels another may have 5. Not by my tv right now but think there’s 4-5 buttons that control different levels so it’s got a lot of variations.

As normal with some hard of hearing I may have a hard time making out whether someone said lake or like. This seems to help.

Vizio makes very good soundbars on a budget.

Allow you to lower background noise and music? I don’t know what’s available in the Vizio sound bars? The zbar seems to block out most of the sound above and below normal speaking range. That was one of the selling points I was originally looking for?

The music is sometimes so loud.

I don’t know what else is out there. I’m sure there are some. The no more blaring ads was a nice addition. It does take awhile to get set. You adjust one button on it and it can affect something you set earlier. Also you do need to listen for awhile after changing settings to make sure it’s good. But once it’s set you’re good to go.
