Hearing the TV with hearing aids

Posted by rainyday541 @rainyday541, Feb 9, 2023

I am having difficulty understanding what is being said on TV at times. Sound volume varies. A device "TV Ears" has been advertised and appears to be similar to a sound bar for tv. Has anyone tried this? Has anyone found anything that helps hearing the tv? I have hearing aids from audiology. They are ReSound brand.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

No. The TV Ears go right into your ears.

I have been tested a few times for hearing aids and "on the edge" so haven't bought them. However, I do have trouble hearing the TV even with a 2.1 soundbar. I bought Aventree headphones (Amazon) and have found they are great for hearing.

You might benefit from an Assistive Listening Device. One newer product i have been recommending is the ClearCast - it has a wireless microphone you can place next to the TV (or anyone you are speaking to) and the dialog or conversation will sound like someone is speaking right into your ear.

Is pocket talker a wireless device? is mic tethered to device or wireless? I tried a "comfort duet" device, (earphones & mic wired to device. ). sounds better than hearing aids. big problem is tethered mic which limits range of sound reception. if I could find a device with a wireless mic that had some decent range of sound reception, I would throw my hearing aids away.

There is now a wireless pocket talker type device called the clearcast pal. It has a wireless microphone that extends 60 feet or more.
