Parents need clear sounding 2 ch HT


My parents are always complaing they can't understand what was said on their TV. I set them up with a Pioneer digital receiver and set of Solioquy bookshelves.
This was before HDMI and i ran the 2ch out from tv into receiver.
My question is how do i get them better, more clear sound? Do i need to scrap anything or just get an integrated that accepts hdmi? New speakers? I'm not sure what course i should take.

As a Physician, i agree that this is probably a medical issue. Invest $30 in something called Miracle Ear. It is a headphone attached to a pocket sized gain amplifier. My mother loves it and has gone from being a spectator af family dinners to being a full participant.. She also says it helps her immeasurably understand the TV. We are buying one for my father in law for fathers day.
All the other hi tech stuff misses the point, although a center channel may help
if the receiver allows for a 3.0 setup. I don't see where HDMI would make any difference
