I want to purchase this for my grandmother who wants to be able to watch tv with other people in the room who prefer the tv volume low do these?

Yes, it can be linked directly to the TV or works well without. Since hearing is improved, the volume can be lowered without blasting others in the room as well.

I use it to listen to plays and it works great. When I received it I tested it with my TV and it worked. Having both a volume and tone button allows you to adjust for a wide variety of situations. To me it was money well spent.

My husband is using this device and he can completely mute the tv and still adjust the volume to his liking with the remote that comes with it. We are quite pleased so far with these headphones.

My mother came to live with me and she couldn't hear the tv without it being so loud it would run me out of the room. I bought her sennheiser wireless headphones that hook up to the tv and has a recharging cradle for the headphones. She loves them so much and can hear every detail as loud as she likes, while I watch the same program at a tv volume I enjoy! Check them out! Cost me about a hundred bucks!

The maxi is fabulous! My son uses it and it has helped him tremendously. She can plug it into the TV and set the volume and tone buttons to suit her needs.

My suggestion is to simply go to a store like Radio Shack or Sears and purchase ears that are just for watching TV. My husband has both the Bellman, which he uses for church and social settings and ears for watching TV; not TV ears, but something else, as they were not so good and cost twice as much as a set of ears for TV listening at Sears. My husbands hearing is severe, so a $50.00 set should work just fine for your grandmother.

I bought this for my husband because he is very hard of hearing. Without them, he'd have the TV volume as loud as it could go. They do work. The only negative comment I have is that every other day he needs to replace the batteries. Granted, he is retired and watches a lot of TV, however, I definitely will be shopping for a plug-in model.

You could also get him/her a pair of headphones designed just for this - $30 - $50 - that allows one to turn the volume up where the wearer needs it without blasting others in the room or neighbors. Or, you could wear the headphones which will block quite a bit but offer clearer sound. i have worn a lot of hearing protection - sleep with plugs always - and feel that plugs will deliver fuzzy TV sound.

They are loud enough to hear from another room. Not sure about the sound level from someone hard of hearing as it would depend on the person.

Glad to help.I purchased this for my wife. She doesn't like having to wear ear plugs. We just use the speakers and it satisfies her needs. I thought it would be annoying for me to hear the combination of the TV and the wireless speakers, but it also helps me to understand the dialog.

Yes, but volume isnt that great. Thats the only thing about these types of tvs we found lacking. There are wireless soundbars and woofers for them.

The volume is excellent and you can make it too loud. I put it on my left side and my wife has normal hearing and sits to the right of me and likes it because the sound is not too loud. We keep the sound down on the tv.

Yes, they can control the volume for their listening pleasure. The sound you will hear will be through the com pilot so you will not hear coming out of TV speakers . I would have wished I'd ordered the model up from this one as it connects to television with an optical cable instead of av cable. I guess I'm just wondering if that would improve sound quality?

Yes, I always lower the TV sound when I use TV Ears and you can even mute the TV and still listen to TV Ears.

There is a volume control on the headset turn that up. You are not suppose to hear the tv when you have them on.

I also have the same question as the first couple of posts. My husband is hearing impaired and it is hard to watch TV with him having the volume so loud. So, if we have our TV hooked up to a reciever and get him a wireless head set and hook the head set up to the TV will we both be able to watch TV and each be able to control the volume to suit each of us?

They are built in to the TV. It has a volume control on it also. The only thing we have found that the TV is not good for is connected to Directv. It doesn't work well with that, otherwise it is a great TV.

Yes, everyone else can still hear the TV at their level of volume, while a person hard of hearing uses the headphones. When my dad, who is completely deaf in one ear and going deaf in the other, wheres these headphones, we're able to have the volume to half the level my dad would need it to hear. There is a separate volume control on the headphones themselves, that the wearer can use to adjust the volume. Also, my dad has the transmitter behind the TV, and still works great.

Just the noise cancelling alone almost drowns the TV out, not completely, but once she starts listening to anything besides the quiet of noise cancellation she won't hear much of anything else... I love these for the noise cancellation and great sound quality. The drawback from your standpoint is, if she cranks the volume, you may hear her as these "bleed noise" to outside listeners quite a bit. Again, that's only if she's over there rockin' out... :-)

YES, no problem. I like this TV, except I have to crank the volume to 100% most of the time as I am a bit hard of hearing. I guess TV Ears will be next.Bill

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

While adequate sound quality for many purposes, I am not sure this would be the speaker choice for a TV. HP monitors (some models) have knobs on the back to hold the speakers. I doubt a TV would have these. That said it only requires a USB connection to work and they could rest on a surface.

The TV ears work great. You have volume control on the ears so your TV can even be on mute. When my wife wants to read in the same room there is absolutely no noise to disturb her.
