Commercials have higher volume. This was supposed to be FCC regulated years ago, but nothing has been done.
Yup, it is multifaceted.

Got a GOOD sound bar, it helps - we switch from Music to News profiles when watch TV or listening to music. Works well, but we still use captions.

We do not watch ANYTHING that uses commercials. We haven't in 10 years. Can't stand commercials, we see thing occasionally at friends houses and they always make my blood pressure rise. We only use services that have a subscription without commercials.
