As a long-time Twitch viewer who suffers from chronic ear sensitivity and inflammation, I’ve been struggling for over four years with high game audio in streams — especially in shooter games like PUBG. Often, the loud game sounds overpower the streamer’s voice, making it very difficult to understand what they’re saying.

I frequently ask streamers to lower their game volume, but I understand this affects their experience and other viewers’ enjoyment. Some streamers even feel frustrated by the repeated requests.

I’m suggesting that Twitch adds a viewer-side audio control feature, similar to Discord, where I can separately adjust the game audio and the streamer’s voice volume. This would let me reduce only the game sounds on my end without affecting what others hear.

Most importantly, I use both mobile (Twitch app) and web (browser), so I would love for this feature to be available on both platforms, not just one.

This option would greatly improve accessibility for people like me who have hearing sensitivity or simply want more control over their audio experience.

Thank you for considering this!
