Can I still hear the TV through my hearing aids if I have the TV muted? (I watch TV late at night and I don't want to wake my family up)

Yes you can if you use RCA jacks to hook up to the tv, not sure if you use the ear phone jack as the hookup method.

That's what it's for.. However, just turn the volume down to zero.. you have your own volume control on the pendant.. I love mine!

If you connect the TVLink to your cablebox audio out then the TV does not even have to be on. That is how we do it - works very well. My wife listens through her TVLink/Com Pilot with TV sound turned down. She can adjust volume she hears in her hearing aids with her Com Pilot. If I want to hear the TV, I turn the TV volume up. If I want to talk to her while she is listening through the TVLink, I signal for her to push the big button on the Com Pilot to momentarily mute the TV audio going into her hearing aids. If you connect the TVLink to the TV audio out, it might not work with the sound turned down (depends on your TV).

Probably. It depends on your TV set's ability. The TV's user manual should inform you whether the audio out is separately controlled.

yes. I have connected to a Samsung TV through the headphone jack on the back of the set, and the RCA stereo plugs on a Vizio. Each TV can be muted by the remote and the Com Pilot volume works independently.

Yes. I frequently have the sound all the way down on the TV, and I still hear the sound, at the volume I want, in my hearing aids.

Did you lower the TV volume to the point of almost mute and then u increase the volume on the TV ears? If not, U can call the TV Ears Customer Service, they will guide you through it.

Yes they can. In fact I had the headphones on last night and forgot to mute the TV for my husband and he could still hear the TV. So my answer would be yes. You have to mute the TV if you do not want the sound coming out of the TV when you use the headphones.

Happy to answer but not sure about exact question. If TV is on mute, you will hear nothing in the headphones. When the headphones are plugged into your amp/tv, there will be no sound in the room, as all sound is not sent to your headphones, as in any headphone situation. Hope this helps. Also, these are the most comfortable headphones ever. Occasionally you might hear some scratching sounds, but this rare and minor.

Yes, no problem. You can also put the TV on mute and the sound will only come from the speakers

No, the audio plays on the headset and television simultaneously. I find myself turning the television volume all the way down so you can't hear it anymore and just using the headset. It sure helps when don't want to wake anyone up at night.

The only way I can answer is to say that I mute the tv often and just listen to the tv ears. both with an earphone and without.
1023341
yes - you can even mute the TV and the phones can still be heard. They have their own independent audio.

it depends on where you set the volume. My husband doesn't hear it during the night. If you have the volume up they will. I put the speaker under my ear so the volume can be low, just make a dent in your pillow and put you ear on the speaker works great for me.

Others can hear at whatever volume the TV is set for. Conversely you can mute the TV and listen to it through the headphones and not disturb anyone else.

If the amplifier is on with the volume at max loudness, your bed partner would have to have the hearing of a bat to hear tv or music. If you have the speaker under just a little bit of a pillow, she'd have to be akin to a superhero to hear anything. Specifically --- I doubt if your bed partner will be able to hear whatever you're listening to.

I wear a hearing aid, but when I use the headphones I don't. When my Sony TV is muted I can still hear it through the headphones, they have their own volume control. The only con is that the ear ushions don't last long.

Yes, you can even mute the tv and adjust the volume on your headset. Be sure to hit the reset button, then the scan button to find the tv signal

Yes you can listen to the tv at the same time, if you like of course if not lower the tv down. The way it works is the tv volume can be super low to the point where you won't hear it but your husband with the headphones will hear it because it comes with its own volume control.

Yes, you can still have the TV volume separate, if you use the audio out connections on the back to connect the headphones. Great for use when someone has need for higher volume then rest of viewers.

Yes, you can hear either. You just have to mute the TV speakers if you don't want to hear them.

You may try changing your TV audio setting to "fixed" instead of "variable". You should then hear through your Sennheiser even if the TV is muted. I was getting no sound if the TV volume was low, but this fixed the problem. I called Sennheiser at 877-736-6434 & they were very helpful. I was also told to plug the Sennheiser into the cable box, but didn't need to since the problem was solved.
