Do you often struggle to hear the dialogue of your favorite program while watching television, or when listening to music? If you are, then you are feeling a very common frustration. For many seniors, the pleasure of television has lost its charm due to age-related hearing loss.
The reality is that, according to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), almost approximately one in three people between the ages of 65 and 74 have hearing loss and nearly half of those older than 75 have hearing loss. But there’s not only a volume issue, there’s a clarity issue. This guide will explain why you struggle to hear the TV and provide the best products to help you get your TV viewing life back.
Why Is Hearing the TV So Hard for Seniors?
The beginning of a solution is building an understanding of the problem. The problem is sometimes not just your ears. It’s a convergence of factors:
- High-Frequency Loss: Age-related hearing loss often starts at high frequencies, where consonant sounds (S, T, F,K, etc.) coincide. Consonants are important when interpreting speech and are easily masked.
- Background Noise & Music: Many modern TV shows have really complex scores and music, plus all those loud sound effects can drown out more subtle dialogue.
- Rapid Speech & Accents: People tend to speak so quickly or in a strange accent which is much more difficult to follow.
- Room Acoustics: Reflection and ambient noise in the lounge cause sound to become muddy.
Conventional Solutions (And Why They Typically Do Not Work):
- Cranking Up the Volume: This one’s probably most of you will go with first, but it’s a poor fix. It muffles sound, picking up every sound in the background, and is disruptive to those in the room or nearby.
- TV Soundbars: Although they sound much better than the average built-in TV speaker system, most soundbars don’t have a special speaker dedicated to the clarity and crispness of speech. So, they still emit sound around the room, possibly bothering others, and don’t actually treat the real issue of frequency-specific hearing loss.
- Hearing Aids: While absolutely necessary for face-to-face conversation every day, hearing aids can have more of a problem with TV sound. They boost any sound the microphones hear (room noise, scuffling, etc) and not just the TV signal. When nearby, they can also cause feedback (whistling), or if the sound is loud enough and your partner is also watching.
The Best Devices to Hear TV Better: Wireless TV Headphones
When it comes to wireless headphones made specifically for watching TV, these cater to the core problems that seniors face and truly provide a tailored, clear, and respectful audio experience. Here’s why, to us, they’re so often the right answer:
- Direct, Personalized Sound: Bypassing the eardrum, the hearing system offers direct, personalized sound for an optimal listening experience. You have your own volume separate from the room’s speakers.
- Improved Speech Recognition: Various models have designed-specific Clear Dialog Modes or sound settings that amplify the mid-range tonalities your brain uses to recognize human speech, which means dialogue may be more easily available to hear.
- No-Noise Listening: Not only will you be able to listen at a preferred acoustic level, but you will also not disrupt family, roommates, or neighbors.
- Freedom of Movement: Current wireless models still offer enough range to move around (stand up, grab a refreshment, make a pit stop in the bathroom) while remaining in range of your TV.
- No More Listening Fatigue: It provides balanced clear sound for people who watching TV with hearing loss, No more turning the TV up loud and straining to understand thanks to the clear voice technology.
