@rainyday541 I still have trouble understanding speech on the TV. I have Resounds and use the TV Streamer https://www.resound.com/en-us/hearing-aids/accessories/tv-hearing-aid. Since our hearing aids are tuned to our loss, using the hearing aid is the absolute best we can achieve. The Resound TV Streamer uses our hearing aids and brings the audio directly into our ears. TV ears cannot be used when we're wearing our aids (for most people) so a streamer device is a better option. I was able to find a Resound TV Streamer on eBay for under $100. I thinks its about a $250 cost through your audiologist. With the Resound Smart 3D app on my phone, I can adjust the level of sound coming from my Streamer as well as the hearing aid microphones. I don't always want to "turn off" my microphones when I'm watching TV because I may not hear a knock on the door. I still rely on captions to help when I don't understand certain words.

I love using the streaming device with my computer but I couldn’t get it to work with my TV, which is a pretty old model. Not a frequent TV watcher so haven’t sprung for a new one. But I can set it for open captions for streaming programs (Netflix etc.) Might not work if you’re still using DVDs.
