I purchased my Starkey Z Series I-90 aids in May 2015. At that time, I test-drove the streaming feature for a week. I didn't like it, it was louder but not very pleasant, certainly not enhanced for better understanding.
A much better (for me) solution was to purchase a sound-bar for the TV, especially since going to movie theaters is not something I do often.
Companies such as ZVOX now have sound-bars with enhanced dialog technology to make voices clearer, and I will be looking at them to replace my current unit in the near future.
