Can it be used without earphones if you do not wear hearing aids?

No you will receive the sound but it will not make it to your ears. I don't wear my hearing aids when I use the earphones. This Sennheiser system is wonderful for me as no matter what the sound system I had put into my home I could not hear most dialogue. Before this system I would watch foreign movies as it was my only opportunity to understand the nuance of the program.

The answer to the question is no. You can connect headphones or earbuds to this unit. If you wear hearing aids, they must be capable of receiving a RF signal. Not all hearing aids have this capability. The hearing aids must be programed to accept the signal. I have this unit and I do it both ways. My hearing aids have the ability to be programed in 5 different ways.

It does not produce any sound without at least earphones, earbuds, or hearing aids. If you don't wear hearing aids, you can disconnect the induction loop from the receiver and plug in any earphones or powered speakers that accept a standard 3.5 mm jack. It is flexible in how it can be used, and I recommend that your read the Instruction Manual for the Set 840S found on the Sennheiser website before buying it.

Without or with hearing aids the earphones do a great job. Some persons who wear hearing aids find that they can remove them while using the headsets. Others keep them on. For those with normal hearing the headsets are one of the most advanced devices to provide clear and full range hearing. Dave

No I do not believe so. My Father and Grandfather both use this and they use it with hearing aids.

I'm not sure I understand the question. The system requires that you attach headphones to hear the sound. I use this system during workouts. I attached the transmitter to my television and then attach sport headphones to the 840S receiver, and either clip the receiver onto my running shorts or leave it in the water bottle slot on the treadmill (I do not use the neck strap shown in the picture). I turn the sound off to the tv speakers and listen to a show through the headphones while working out (there is a sound out connector on the tv that operates independently from the tv speakers).

In a way. The earphone jack will drive any self-powered speaker or speaker pair that can be connected to a computer/smartphone/player headset jack. I have hearing problems but do not wear aids. Sometimes my ears just completely rebel at having any kind of headset/earphones/whatever on. During those times I use a small self powered speaker (the small round JBL connected via its wire pigtail) a couple of feet from my better ear for watching TV or movies in addition to having captions. (Be aware that my hearing now distorts the bass range of sound pretty badly, so a small speaker with little bass doesn't bother me.) In a way.

Hello: It does play loud without earphones. In fact, this answer to you is coming from someone who very, very, etc, rarely uses earphones and has never used earphones with this mp3 player. I turn the volume of the play all the way up, then adjust he volume of the speakers. Also, I purchased this item from Amazon, but it was defective. I never got around to returning it so I trashed it. My Girlfriend had one that worked so my answer to you comes from using hers. I like this mp3 player very much especially for Videos, but now, I really like the Apple iPod. God Bless.

You are able to adjust the volume & use your phone with earphones without taking it out.

Yes I think so. My motherinlaw wears it. The amplifier fits around your ear with the hearing part inside. Sound maybe muffled by being covered. Hope this helps.

No, you do not need headphones. For such a small speaker the sound can be surprisingly loud. This is a great little speaker.

If you are alone, you can listen with your. Earphones with the TV on mute. If there are other people that would also like to listen, then just turn up the volume like normal and they can listen like normal. You do not have to make any changes. The volume of the earphones is independent of that of the TV. The quality of the sound with the earphones is unbelievable.

Depends on your pickiness....I don't think so, when music is so loud its distorted it makes it tolerable. But it its normal you don't need anything. Its not that expensive a purchase and cheaper and less impaired than hearing aids when your hearing is impaired from music damage. My husband has hearing problems in certain ranges, and needs hearing aids to hear higher softer pitches

Yes, you can enjoy listening to all the functions without headphones. After purchasing our unit on amazon.com we found the same unit for much less at Walmart. Enjoy!

Yes, we only use them without headsets. The intennas need to be up to get better range.

You do not need to have earphones to listen with this radio, am or fm. If you want them, you only need 1 as it is not stereo. The earphone is not included. I had one from an old transistor radio that is working fine.

Thanks for contacting us. Yes, you can listen to music without a headphone.

Yes, you will need ear buds (or earphones) to listen through a jack. It doesn't have external speakers.

You do not have to connect headphones but if you connect a large jack headphones should be heard but I have not tried it so.

The radio has a built in speaker so yes you can listen to it without using headphones.

Yes, you can use the mobile without music. There are three options. 1) Music only 2) Music and Mobile 3) Mobile only

I don't see how you can wear them with a hearing aid. My husband takes them out. They work great most of the time. We are having trouble keeping then charged sometimes.

Yes you can answer the phone. You can listen to music without headphone due to the cover blocking the jack.
