My father (hearing aids) has trouble hearing the words vs the background. I need to enhance the Voice volume, Will this work? Will any soundbar?

We don't have hearing aids, but this sound bar does project the sound out into the room very well and very loud if you turn it up, even with all the background noise around lawnmowers, tractors etc with the windows open we hear very well. Hope that helps.

Im rather hard of hearing and tried this product to enhance sound. It did not help. Gave me a theater type sound but made it even more difficult to discern words. I rarely turn mine on now.

The device will most of the time decrease the volume. It won't be desirable for senior who needs TV to be louder.

Try the soundbars by ZVOX they are designed with dialogue as the most important feature

Use the built in equalizer under sound settings..depending on your age...anyone above 30 will start to notice high frequency sound loss. I am in that category. if that doesn't work, try a sound bar. My sound is perfect. Check all your sound settings and notice the different selections...movie, clear speech, etc. Fiddle with those first, then move on to the equalizer.

I've seen the other answers in the feedback but for the life o me I can't see how they would help. I use it for the tv, since I have become hard of hearing and wife says play the tv too loud I connect audio cables to the cable box and run them to Sony earphones and then using I splitter y adapter connect it to the amplifier and sound is unbelievable. Hope this helps

I found the sound to be adequate if you had the player on your lap or very close. My hearing is not perfect but I do hear normal sound. It would depend on how badly your dad's hearing is impaired.

I've only used the Bluetooth with my phone which works fine. I don't know if it would work with the sound bar. Try contacting the company.

Amplification is good, but for my father in law...it's the clarity that is challenging. He does wear hearing aids & it does announce who is calling

Probably but you are better off getting a better sound bar. This one is junk.

I didn't reply at first because I've been sick and busy with my biz. 'Sound Bar' threw me off too, I see some other replies that fit along with what I assumed you meant. Yes I have a center speaker under the tv. Of course the sizes of your TV and center speaker would be a factor in whether or not it would work. Generally it's a safe bet that most configurations would probably work.

It depends on what input jacks you have on your TV - as I recall, this soundbar had both audio L/R (the red and white tipped cables) and a digital connecton (called TOSLink). If you use the TOSLink connection, you'll get better sound quality yet you'll need to buy the TOSLink cable separately. I was never able to get the TOSLink connection to work on mine (I bought the soundbar for my elderly father who had difficulty hearing the TV) so I ended up using the Audio L/R connection.

Yes, buttt! The timing might be a little off and could sound simular to an echo effect. My sound bar is hooked up to optical connection. There should be a way to adjust this tv/soundboard timing, butt! I haven't researched this yet

Honestly I wouldn't recommend this product. I tried it from a digital audio out to a sound bar and couldn't get it to work. Customer service is great but couldn't get device to work.

I don't know what type of sound device you are using, from what I'm hearing you must have a integrated sound system. Yes, a good sound cars would probably do the trick ( a good sound blaster card should do the trick). I have been using sound blaster for ever. I would also suggest a good quality mike.

It should work fine for adjusting volume if you connect it via HDMI with the HDMI arc port on your tv. If you want to change sound settings, you'll have to use the original remote for the sound bar.

Yes, just speak into the microphone, it will come thru. We even use it to amplify the speaker system when watching movies, if the volume needs a boost, since my husband is hearing challenged. Enjoy!

It will control the tv volume, but you will have to adjust the soundbar manually,and as you turn up the volume, you should get the increase in sound that you want.
