I have solutions for this depending on which device I'm using.
If I'm watching my TV, my soundbar has a Voice button which has 3 levels which it will boost the center channel to help with it, or I can connect my bluetooth headphones and they handle it better.
If I'm watching on my PC, I use some free software called FxSound which is an equalizer for Windows. Even just installing it and using the General profile is a noticeable improvement over the default balances but it also has sound profiles for Movies, TV, Transcription, Music, Voice, Volume Boost, Gaming, Classic Processing, Light Processing, Bass Boost and Streaming Video. I recommend installing FxSound for all Windows users, I have it on all of my computers.
If for some reason I'm using my phone, or using my phone to Bluetooth to my headphones or to my car stereo I use an equalizer on that (Android) called REEQ which has preset profiles or you can make custom ones. That app has definitely increased the quality of the audio from and streamed from my phone.
My current workaround is subtitles.
