Do you leave the TV volume up along with the chair or is it better to mute the TV and just use the chair speakers.

You can do it either way. I leave both on and it seems to work good. The speaker in the chair is much better and the one on my Tablet or Phone.

Yes, there is a volume controller on one of the speakers as well as an on/off button. The TV volume can be muted because the speakers work separately.

There is a 3.5 mm. stereo audio jack on the rear. You may select from "TV Speaker" or "External Speaker". In the TV Speaker mode, both the TV speakers and the external speaker are on. When in the External Speaker mode, the TV speaker is turned off and the volume and mute buttons do not operate. Using headphones would require a small amp or some sort of volume control to be practical.

It is not very loud. I do not think it would interfere with you hearing the tv.

The only thing I could think of is that make sure your chair and sound receiver are both turned on, and turned to the same channel. I've had my chair on channel three and the receiver on two and had no idea. There is also a chance your television mutes itself the moment a audio cabel is plugged in. I would check that as well.

Yes, you can either mute the tv or turn the volume all the way down (that way you dont see the mute symbol) and control the volume on the head phones.

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.

You plug the base into your television audio out jacks then take the grap piece shown and the sound comes out where it is. It does not affect the volume of the TV so you can turn it up or down.

I have these. I can move a little but if I turn away from the TV I lose the sound. As long as you mostly face the TV you can still hear.

Pressing the mute button toggles the mute on and off. If the TV is muted pressing the volume up also turns the mute off.

Only if you want to. I watch TV with the volume on the TV turned all the way down. At any point, with the TV remote, you can raise or lower the TV's volume. The headphones have their own volume controls. That's one of the things that makes them so awesome! :))

You have to adjust both separately. I have found if I turn the sound bar all the way up, then try to adjust it with my tv remote there is a hum in the speaker at lower volumes.

On my hookup I control the volume seperatly on the TV and the TV Ears unit. Either one or both can be played at the same time. My hearing is not the best however the T v ears speaker is absolutely a god send for me. I have 2 of these units, one for the living room and one for the bedroom.

Actually, just buying a decent pair of headphones would be a better solution. TV ears are meant for helping the hard-of-hearing when others are also watching the TV. Just plug in headphones, and this should turn the speakers off, and you'll get a much better quality of sound out of the headphones than the TV ears. Also, headphones are much cheaper than TV ears.

Yes, I listen to a normal volume on the TV while my husband uses the hearing device. It does not cut out the normal sound.

You can hear the TV ok but it's sort of like having a 16 inch fan blowing next to you. So you would have to turn the TV up a little. My advice is to run it when you're not there and turn it off when you are there. We love this unit.
