Do you or a loved one have difficulty hearing the TV even when the volume is turned way up? You’re not alone. Hearing loss is incredibly common, especially in older adults. Luckily, there are excellent solutions available to enhance TV audio for those with hearing impairments. In this blog post, we’ll explore the wide range of assistive listening devices on hear aid store and how to choose the right option for your needs and budget.
What to Look for in Hearing Assistive Devices
A visit to your local hear aid store will reveal many types of listening systems designed to make TV watching more enjoyable. When selecting a TV listening device, here are some key features to consider:
- Volume Level: Can the device amplify sound to a level that’s comfortable for you? Many amplify sound up to 125dB.
- Tone Control: Does it allow you to adjust bass and treble to customize sound quality? This helps improve speech clarity.
- Wireless Connectivity: Does it connect wirelessly to your TV to avoid unsightly cables? Modern RF and Bluetooth technology enable wireless connectivity up to 100 feet.
- Comfort: Is the device comfortable enough to wear for extended viewing sessions? Over-ear headphones and in-ear buds are available.
- Convenience Features: Does it have handy extras like rechargeable batteries, memory presets, and audio inputs to connect to other devices? These add versatility and ease of use.
With the right device, you’ll be able to immerse yourself in TV shows, movies and more without constantly adjusting the volume or missing important dialogue.
Hearing Aid Compatible Headphones
One simple option for better TV listening is to use a good pair of headphones designed for use with hearing aids. Many popular over-ear headphones and earbuds now include hearing aid compatibility, including budget-friendly models all the way up to high-end noise-cancelling headphones.
To work seamlessly with hearing aids, the headphones must include a magnetic induction coil. This allows them to wirelessly receive the TV audio signal directly from a hearing aid or cochlear implant equipped with a telecoil. The sound quality is excellent since the audio bypasses background noise for a clear, amplified signal.
Be sure to look for the “HAC” (Hearing Aid Compatible) logo when headphone shopping for hearing aid wearers. This ensures the product is engineered to strict FCC standards for reducing electromagnetic interference. You can get the help of your hear aid store to pick the right option.
Personal Sound Amplification Products
On the lower end of the price spectrum, personal sound amplification products (PSAPs) essentially serve as basic sound amplifiers without the bells and whistles. They lack wireless capability so must connect to the audio source via headphone cables.
However, PSAPs make a great budget option for boosting TV volume affordably. And in some cases, advanced features can be added via smartphone apps for more control. Though limited, some PSAP models still offer decent sound quality improvement tailored to compensate for common high-frequency hearing loss.
