Periodically we will be releasing tutorial videos to our growing YouTube video library for TV Ears Customers. These animated, easy to understand short videos will help you quickly set up your new TV Ears system, or for existing TV Ears customers, give you useful tips/tricks to further improve your TV Ears listening experience!
Below are Video instructions for frequently ask questions or troubleshooting help.
TV·Ears Voice Clarifying Circuitry automatically increases the volume of hard to hear words and lowers the volume of overwhelming background sounds so television dialog is clear and understandable. This is accomplished through proprietary technology that monitors words and sounds and instantaneously adjusts their volume up or down based upon their frequency so background sounds stay in the background and hard to hear words jump out.
TV·Ears compliments hearing aids! The TV·Ears headset can be worn with or without hearing aids. Many users find wearing a TV·Ears headset without their hearing aids works better than hearing aids alone! TV·Ears brings the sound right from your TV directly to your ears without picking up competing sounds in the room.
The answer is, we have, but both technologies had drawbacks that outweighed their advantages so they were discontinued. RF enables the user to walk around their home but research shows 96% of people sit down to watch TV so the disadvantages of channel drift, radio static and interference with telephones reduced its appeal. Bluetooth’s relatively slow transmission technology performs well for cell phones or music speakers but is noticeable when watching television, requires pairing, needs more battery power and is limited to one user at a time so it had limited acceptance as a TV listening headset. TV·Ears uses Speed of light infrared technology SoLIT because it is fast, clear, safe, very simple to use, will not interfere with your telephone or pacemaker and multiple people can use it at the same time.
TV·Ears works for people with all types of hearing. No matter what your hearing ability, TV·Ears will enhance your TV listening experience!

TV·Ears has designed different models for the convenience of which installation method a customer would like to use to install their system. If your TV only has analog connections, the TV·Ears Original™ is a perfect system for that. If your TV only has digital audio out ports, our TV·Ears Digital™and The TV·Ears Dual Digital™ systems are specifically designed and compatible with digital outputs.
Yes! When installed as recommended, via the audio out port of the television, the TV volume will be independent from the TV·Ears volume. The TV volume can be low or even muted and the TV·Ears volume will not be affected.
Yes! Any number of headsets can be used with one transmitter at a time as long as they are part of the same product line. Each transmitter can only charge two headsets at a time.
TV·Ears operates on an infrared light signal and therefore the headset must be in the line of sight of the transmitter to receive the signal. The TV·Ears Original and Digital can cover up to 600 sq ft. while Dual Digital can cover up to 2000 sq ft.
The magnetic field emitted by the TV·Ears ear tip speakers is minimal. When used as indicated, TV·Ears headsets should not cause magnetic interference with pacemakers or internal defibrillators. The magnetic frilled strength of the speakers is less than 1 Gauss when within 1 inch(3 cm) of the pacemaker or internal defibrillator. It is recommended that the user keep the ear tips at least one inch away from any pacemaker or internal defibrillator. We have not had any customers indicate a problem using TV·Ears in the presence of a pacemaker or internal defibrillator. We recommend not placing the ear tip ends of the headsets (where the speakers are) on your chest or directly in the vicinity of a pacemaker or defibrillator. If you have concerns, we recommend you contact your physician.
