← Return to TV background music overpowers the speaker. Why do they do this?

I'm a natural-born sceptic, so I am waiting to report until we have tried the speakers. The hearing loop idea is a great one, except I think it will be helpful to me to have the discriminating speakers too, and I am not "yet" ready for aids according to my audiologist, whom I trust. I'm looking forward to trying the speaker, as the high volume of commercials when the TV is turned up is eventually going to make me throw something at it and break it!

Well, Sue, your report on this new system sounds most interesting. Let us know and the name of it, also, pls. I will be getting new HAs in a week or so, the Phonak Paradise P90 which, are supposed to be the best thing since sliced bread. It will have telecoil ability and also the TV adaptor which will wirelessly put the sound directly into my hearing aids. At present I don't have too much trouble watching simply because I have captions on all the time. The problem with captions is that on local live programming the captions are like five - 10 seconds or more behind the spoken word; that is so disappointing. These HAs have a device that adjusts automatically when it senses someone speaking softly and turns up that sound without turning up the background sound. Anyway, keep us posted, Sue. Thanks.
