We purchased these for an elderly friend who wanted to hear her TV without her hearing aids in. She says that they are loud enough, but that she can't control the volume from her remote. Some TVs (like my Vizio) have a setting in the menu that determines whether the TV volume switches also control the audio output. The TV we purchased this for doesn't have this feature; the output volume is constant. So, she has to get up and move the knob on the speakers to change the volume. I'd have to check with her but I believe "mute" still works from the remote. Depending on your TV, you may need an adapter to plug it in.

Yes, I haven't had them on because they are too small for adults but when my son uses them in the same room with me he has no issues with me watching TV while he plays with his devices, he can hear just fine.

I use them to plug into my kindle, and they work great. So, if you plug into any headphone jack, they should work. Anything else, not sure. They are not high end, by any stretch, but just enough to increase the output well. It did have a Y-cord to convert headphone jack to RCA, so should work fine with a TV. Hope that helps

I haven't used the TV ears, so can't comment on those. We use our Sennheiser on a digital flat screen TV. It connects to the analog audio (headphone) output and works like a charm.

No, they do not mute your TV. You have to turn the volume completely down on your TV and adjust the volume in the headphones to suit you. Works like a charm and makes my husband happy when he wants to go to bed early and I want to continue watching TV. ;-)

I can only reinforce what others have said - they work very well for older people with hearing problems.

Not that I know of. My husband has used these when I want to go to sleep and my dad was given these because he is the only one that watches TV and no one else could have a conversation around him.

I think you need passive ones ( and they are provided with TV set....).I don't think active would work

It works. I use an earlier version for TV all the time. But depending on your lack of hearing, the aid may not be completely satisfactory. It's one's ears that are the problem, not the device.

My mother is 86 and about 80% deaf and blind in one eye. This device helps a little bit but only in very quiet situations, and, again, only a little bit. However, since the item is refundable, you might want to try it and return it if it does not work for her. Good luck.

If you have an audio out jack usually on the rear of any newer tv's the sound on the headphones and on the tv are independent. That means you can separately control the tv volume and the headphone volume so you can sit and listen to the tv at normal levels while the headphones can be cranked up as needed.If you use the tv's regular headphone jack you cannot independently control the volume. I have these hooked up as stated above for my 92 yr old mom and they work fine even if you mute the tv.

As long as your TV has an audio output plug on it, it will work. The charging unit transmits the sound wirelessly to the earphones so it has to be plugged into the audio out plug, and you can even put the tv on mute, and still hear the tv on the headphones. My 88 year old mother loves her headset.

No, these work off of an infrared signal typically used in automobile applications. Unless if your TV has an infrared audio output I would say they will not work. I have not seen any TVs to date that have this feature.

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.

YES! That's what I love about them. No volume on TV and you control the volume with your headphones.

I do know that if the tv is loud, I can put these earbuds on and not hear the tv. I guess it depends on how loud the machinery is next door. Give them a try as you can always return them if they don't work.

Not being a doctor, not sure if they would help hard of hearing people or not...although, I would think some help would be there....first of all, you wouldn't be susceptible to other noises in the room....the ear phones would isolate the TV sound....you would have to try them, I would think....good luck..
