Yes, those things are called TV Streamers. Most of them use Bluetooth to stream sound from the TV to hearing aids. So the hearing aids must have Bluetooth and they must be paired to the streamer.

Another possibility for TV in a room where you listen regularly is the installation of a room hearing loop that will allow you to use the telecoils in your hearing aids to tune in to the sound of your TV. Do your hearing aids have 'telecoils'. If you don't know, be sure to ask your provider. Insist on them if getting new hearing aids. They add about $10 to the cost of a hearing aid and double the value of the hearing aid.

Captioning is also very helpful. Do you use the captioning on your TV?
