Malfunctioning amplification devices can produce an unclear auditory experience, often described as indistinct or suppressed sound. This diminished audio quality hinders effective communication and sound perception. For instance, instead of receiving crisp,... Read more »
To describe a sound as “muffled” indicates that it is suppressed, indistinct, or difficult to hear clearly. This often arises due to obstructions, distance, or the enclosure of the sound source. For... Read more »
A sensation of reduced sound clarity and volume, often described as listening through a barrier or having ears plugged, can significantly impair auditory perception. This altered hearing experience can affect an individual’s... Read more »
