Choosing a TV Listening System To Meet Your Needs

There are many TV listening systems available now. They all have a transmitter that connects to the audio output jack of the TV and sends either an infrared signal or radio frequency signal to a receiver that you wear.

The receiver is the part that you wear. It can have traditional headphones that go over your head and cover your ears or they look like stethoscope earpieces attached to the unit that sits under your chin. Another style uses earphones while many systems can use a neckloop so that you can use the telecoils on your hearing aids.

There are many TV listening systems on the market now and we’ve tested them all. We’re happy to report that they all do a great job of giving clean audio signals and will help you enjoy watching TV again with your family. The best one for you will depend on what you are looking for. It’s best to determine the features you like, and then look at the options on each TV system.

If you want to be able to roam the house while listening to the TV, then you’ll need the Sennheiser 820 system that uses radio frequency to transmit the sound. You’ll want to choose a model that uses 95kHZ infrared frequency if you want to be able to take it with you to a theater that uses infrared.

Many people prefer to use their hearing aid or cochlear implant telecoil, so they will need to use any system that has an output jack for a neckloop. If you have telecoils, then this option allows you to keep your aids in while watching TV and simply switch it off if you want to hear other sounds in the room.

One other note, if you have a plasma TV, then you’ll want the TV Ears PRO system with power amplifier. This system is designed to transmit without interference from the TV.

The newest addition from TV Ears is a remote speaker. This is an excellent way to get a speaker near the person who wants to hear it. You can turn the volume down because the speaker is right next to you. No need to wear a headset!
