Yes, I have nerve loss of hearing and I have benefitted greatly from using the Sennheiser 840. Hearing aids do not work well for me, but the Sennheiser device has electronic sound enhancement that is adjustable to suit the frequency loss pattern of my hearing. It can increase the amplification of the higher frequencies and improve word recognition.

My husband also has a hear deficiency. He can hear the TV a lot better. It is very clear for him. He really enjoys it.

I am also a hearing aid user and I really miss live music. I still go to shows but using HAs really distorts the loud music and listening without looses part of the music even if overall it is loud enough. I am looking for a headphone amp with a graphic equalizer and a stereo microphone for the amp input. If folks have any suggestions, I hope they will post them.

I can't hear anything besides what is coming through the headphones. My husband looks like he's hailing a taxi when he tries to get my attention. I never here him or the television. Of course, the lower the volume the more noise gets through.

I just got this email your answer is any headphones will work but you have to connect through a device that you can control the output sound level as there is no control on the tv to do that.

Yes, that's what makes it so wonderful. DH can watch tv anytime at night he wants to, doesn't disturb me a bit. I have the tv on mute, but his headphones are always adjusted to suit his hearing needs. I can control the volume when I'm in the room and his adjustment remains the same. It has allowed him to not get hear aids as the tv was our biggest problem. He had the sound set at 90 on the tv and I just couldn't stand it that high. Now, we're happy as clams. Go for it.

Why would you ask about MOST hearing aides unless you are a professional dealing with many different hearing aides. I am simply a user and have only one kind of hearing aid. So unless you ask about a specific brand I am unable to be of help,

I am using it to watch TV especially sport programs. My wife would like me to hear them at a very low level so Sennheiser helped me out...

Yes, but you have to have a digital to analog converter (they are quite small, so they take little room -- however, they do need a power pack). The tv digital audio "out" cable feeds into a converter and the analog RCA jacks from the Sennheiser connect to the converter. Be sure to get a digital to analog converter and not the opposite. Also make sure you get the propper male/female connections.

Can one have sound from the tv and the headphones at the same time. My husband likes more volume than I do and I am hoping this will work. If not can I wear another set of headphones that will pick up the signal?

HERE'S THE BAD NEWS....If you have an analog TV, what came with your SENNHEISER 120 will work. But if you have a digital type TV, you'll have to buy addition equipment to make your SENNHEISER 120 to work. That's the information THEY DON'T TELL YOU IN THE INFO ON AMAZON or the INFO THAT CAME WITH YOUR SENNHEISER 120. Is it a RIP-OFF? (IMO) IT IS. Now, HERE'S THE GOOD NEWS. Once you buy the additional equipment to make it work, IT REALLY WORKS GREAT. And if you're like me, you'll LOVE THE SURROUND SOUND, ESPECIALLY WHEN WATCHING MOVIES. I hope this helped you. ABTW...The additional equipment can be bought on Amazon or at Radio Shack, (Which cost me almost another $100.00)

The 840-S is designed primarily for Television viewing and works with any radio, sound system or TV using the standard 3.5mm plug. "Streaming" may not conform to the basic analog signal. Get in touch with Sennheiser to verify compatibility.

The 840S will "work" very well with hearing aids that contain telecoils (T-coils). If your are uncertain if your hearing aids are T-coil equipped, check with your vendor. Please note that the 840S system must include the induction loop in order to work with hearing aids. Some vendors will quote a low price by excluding the induction loop. (then offer it as a $55.00 accessory)

Yes, it works great with digital hearing aides. You can use headphones if you want but it will also work great while wearing the hearing aides.I have two of the Sennheiser. I use the Sennheiser in the den with my hearing aides. At night I take out my hearing aides in the bedroom and use the Sennheiser with headphones. That way I can just take the headset off and turn out the light without having to take out the hearing aides. The headphones that I use are a rather cheap set, about $15.00 but they work great. You should have no trouble with the Sennheiser with or without using the hearing aides.Lewis Yes, it works great with digital hearing aides.

I've had numerous issues with mine working with my cochlear implants. VERY hit and miss. Try consulting with your audiologist. You may need a special program for your aids.

Hi Bea, I have used Tv ears for over 5 years. I have had 2 pair break . I found them soso. I tried several different head phones, Sony RCA Sennheiser. All were not to my satisfaction. Then I bought Sennheiser 830-TV they are like TV ears but about 1000% better. They are more costly but well worth the price. Clearer sound excellent volume control Easy and softer on your ears. Being wireless makes the set up a snap. I hope this helps you. I got mine on Amazon. If you no like send them back for a full refund.
