I have something like this (wireless) that my wife won at some event (she is an audiologist so they must have something to do geared toward the hard of hearing), I'll take a closer look at them tonight when I get home. They are still in the original packaging (been sitting for 2 years). I can post more tonight as to what the box says, but if you want them, you can have them. Just e-mail me directly via clicking on my username. You can just pay for the shipping via UPS (preferably as we have a pick-up everyday at my office and it will minimize my hassle).
Hard of Hearing Headphones for TV
My dad hearing is going downhill. He has become unbearable to watch TV around. His complaint about hearing aids are that they make it louder but not clearer. After a ton of research, I've come up with a couple of questions that I need help with:
1-A company TV Ears makes a great claim about transmitting in mono for wireless headsets. They stated that since everyone's hearing loss is not equal side to side that it works best. Any thoughts? I could probably do this with Y cables for any headphones.
2-Sennheiser has some really nice wireless headphones, 410, for TV. Anyone play with these?
3-AKG has a wireless system, 840, that seems very nice but a bit cumbersome.
Who has played with any of these? I'm not afraid of price. I even lent dad my AKG 701's but the cord and size were annoying for him. It looks like I'm going to be spending anywhere from $75 to $300???
Thanks for the help.
