Pastor Andres's public voice was deep and rumbly; with the mike overamplifying him, and the faint Hispanic accent, he was hard to understand.
To amplify to an extent that is undesirably loud.
Physiological thresholds can differ from behavioral thresholds by ±15–20 dB HL. Thus, without verification of behavioral responses with amplification, hearing aids may underamplify or overamplify.
What is interesting to note here is that the 2⁄3 gain can be seen to overamplify over the curved line of the impaired ear more than underamplifies, whereas the 1⁄3 gain curve illustrates the opposite, where it tends to underamplify sound to the ear.
