Store and Charge Design
The TV•Ears® Headset features a new charging mechanism that wraps around the prongs in the charging base providing a more secure fit and ensuring a consistent charge every time.
The founder’s father was losing his hearing and refused to wear hearing aids. “Find me a hearing aid for my TV”, Dad said. That’s when TV Ears was born! Since that day in 1998 TV Ears has helped millions enjoy simple pairing, comfortable listening, and speech you can follow.
Yes! TV Ears works with virtually every TV on the market — flat screens, smart TVs, and even older models. Each system includes multiple connection options (digital optical, RCA, and analog audio) so you can easily plug in and start listening. If your TV has sound, TV Ears can deliver it directly to you.
WHAT IF MY TV HAS UNUSUAL AUDIO OUTPUTS OR SOUND BARS?
No problem. TV Ears transmitters are designed to work alongside most sound bars and surround-sound systems. If your TV’s outputs are limited, you can connect through the audio-out ports on your cable box, satellite receiver, or streaming device. Need help? Our support team can guide you through the best setup for your specific system.
WHAT ABOUT BATTERY LIFE AND CHARGING?
Each TV Ears headset includes rechargeable batteries that typically last 4–6 hours per charge—perfect for movie nights or extended viewing. When you’re done, simply place the headset on its charging cradle. It automatically recharges, so it’s ready when you are. Replacement batteries are also available if you ever need a refresh.
WHICH IS BEST FOR PEOPLE WHO PREFER VERY SIMPLE CONTROLS?
If you like things straightforward, our Digital 5.0 Headset is the most user-friendly option. It has large, easy-to-feel volume and tone dials, so you can adjust sound without complicated menus or buttons. Just turn it on, set your volume, and enjoy crystal-clear TV audio—no tech experience required.
