Hello Roger,
Like yourself I am Deaf/Blind, and certain voices I find hard to understand.
I use a iMac computer with Voice-over, with a speaker. Also I use a braille
display to help me when I come across words that I do not understand.
I know that for many who are Deaf/Blind who cannot read Braille this is a great
problem.
so with my TV I use a sound bar.
With my Smart Phone and iPad I use a speaker called Anker speaker which I
bought from Amazon UK, for I think it was about £21.
I do not know if what I have written is of some help, but I wish you all the
best.
Also you could look at my blog for more info.

As many on the list may be aware I have a very severe hearing loss. It is
such I have great difficulty understanding synthetic voices. Consequently I
shy away form them, which is why I don’t have an iPhone or the like. Last
night I was sorting out a small problem with my Plextalk PTX1 and Burbling
Bertha, as I call the on-board announcer, never stopped talking. My wife
wonders if that is a synth voice, I think not. If she is right can I buy that
synth to install on talking devices as I find it very easy to listen to and
understand.
Many thanks Roger
