I feel for you. We had a similar situation. The people lived on the lanai all day long. Television going, drinking parties, etc. They were both very hard of hearing, and factor in the drinking, their voices were very loud. We spoke with them several times and explained the situation. They promised to be quieter, but they weren't quiet. He did volunteer to use the cordless headphones to listen to the tv which was a huge help. But the late night parties really got to us. Finally I blew may stack, and after listening to their drinking party after midnight one night, I called the cops. They quit speaking to us, and sold the house and moved. Best thing I ever did. New neighbors are like church mice.
I would get a set of headphones and ask them to use them. If that doesn't work, you can always enclose your lanai, or add soundproofing windows to your master bedroom so you can sleep in peace and quiet. Some people make a quiet relaxing type space out in the front of their house, so they don't have to interact with the noisy neighbors behind. It depends on the type of house you have whether you can do that. Even putting in a privacy hedge/thick trees or vegetation helps. You may still hear the noise, but somehow its not as bad if you can't see the people. If they play the television past 10:00 and won't use the headphones, call and report them. Sometimes you just have to get tough. Hope this helps. Keep us posted.
