According to this article, the ringing in your ears after watching Comedy Central might soon be lessening to a fairly significant extent. Legislation is making its way through Congress that changes the way commercials are heard. Currently commercials can be as loud as the loudest point in the program, so when Colbert yells "NOOOOOOO" at the top of his lungs, Enzyte's "male enhancement" pills can be just as loud, for no apparent reason. Since Congress is trying to pass this legislation through, the commercial makers are trying to beat them to the punch by lowering their respective volumes and hoping that if they regulate themselves then they will not have to face Congress's likely more stricter regulations. In any case, here's to mildly quieter commercials! Win win win!
