Would you say something?

My dad is getting worse in hospice..just two days ago he was sitting up for a few minutes in the morning and talking normally. It was really awesome. He occasionally slurs and is very weak from aggressive cancer..
But today I can't even wake him, he's been in hospice one week today.
His roommate has his TV up loud on Westerns , so there's lots of gunshots. It's not obscenely loud but pretty loud and I'm so damn anxious of ever putting someone out or even asking a small request. 😟 I don't know whether to ask if he could turn it down a couple notches as my dad is nearing the end. I don't know if it's really affecting my dad though..he's in a deep sleep. Would you say anything or just let it go?

Is his roommate pretty alert? Is he awake and focused and actually watching tv or is it just on as he sleeps as well? Depending on his wherewithal to communicate i would ask him first, if he could, if hes unable to then i would ask the staff.
