I have a tv Ears set I bought several years ago. Have there been any improved versions recently? I plug my transmitter into a headphone jack. Is there another method to connect with the tv?

This TV listening system actively clarifies and amplifies speech and dialog while lowering background noise so you can actually hear what's going on. You do not have to rewind parts of the movie or asking the person next to you what was just said. You'll hear every word. also allows you to listen to your television without turning up the volume on the TV. This gives other people in the room the ability to watch TV with you while you listen at your own volume. Simply connect the transmitter to your TV, cable box, or satellite box equipped with analog audio out ports and you're ready to go. Features Voice Clarifying Circuitry Television and headset volume function separately Ultra lightweight wireless headset Background noise reducing foam ear tips Manufacturer's lifetime service.

I have the Sennheiser 170 Digital Wireless transmitter with the headphones that came with it. Can I buy an "OPEN" 180 headphone that works with my transmitter. Where can I buy one. I tried to find it on Amazon but cannot find the 180 headphones alone. Can someone help me with this, prefereably from Amazon. Thanks, John Albitre

On my TV, I use a Bluetooth transmitter plugged into the headphone jack. It is sold on Amazon as "TaoTronics® TT-BA01 Wireless Portable Bluetooth Stereo Music Transmitter (Not A Bluetooth Receiver) for 3.5mm Audio Devices (iPod, MP3/MP4, TV, Kindle Fire, Media Players...) + 3.5mm Female to 2 RCA Male Cable." This device is suitable for TV because it does not add appreciable delay in the sound, so you don't get that lip sync problem. Combined with these headphones, you'll do fine.

Thanks...I was afraid of that. My t.v. doesn't have a headphone jack that I know of. I'm going to give it another look. If it doesn't, I'm hoping I can find some kind of adapter to make it work??? The directions that came with this unit are horrible. Thanks again!

No, you can connect either through the audio output jacks (RCA type) of the TV, or if the TV doesn't have audio output jacks then a connection through the headphone jack is another option. For a thorough response to this question try the Oticon website as shown: http://www.oticonusa.com/~asset/cache.ashx?id=16982&type;=14&format;=webYou didn't ask but I have had months of trouble free service from the adapter. Only once did I lose my pairing and it was very easy to pair again. Great product.

I am assuming you have the RF version of this unit,which is what I have.The receiver (which is the unit that hangs around your neck),has no connection to the TV at all.It just has a 1/8 in. female jack receptacle to facilitate plugging in a set of earphones.The transmitter (the unit which sits beside your TV),comes equipped with 2 wires.The wire with the yellow end,is the power supply,which of course,plugs into the wall.The wire,I believe you are concerned with,is yellow on both ends.The one end of this wire plugs into the "AUDIO" jack of the transmitter and the other end plugs into the "AUDIO OUT"jack on the rear of your TV set.Hope this is helpful.Yours Truly....Harold I am assuming you have the RF version of this unit,which is what I have.The receiver (which is the unit that hangs around your neck),has no connection to the TV at all.It just has a 1/8 in. female jack receptacle to facilitate plugging in a set of earphones.The transmitter (the unit which sits beside your TV),comes equipped with 2 wires.The wire with the yellow end,is the power supply,which of course,plugs into the wall.The wire,I believe you are concerned with,is yellow on both ends.The one end of this wire plugs into the "AUDIO" jack of the transmitter and the other end... » Read More I am assuming you have the RF version of this unit,which is what I have.The receiver (which is the unit that hangs around your neck),has no connection to the TV at all.It just has a 1/8 in. female jack receptacle to facilitate plugging in a set of earphones.The transmitter (the unit which sits beside your TV),comes equipped with 2 wires.The wire with the yellow end,is the power supply,which of course,plugs into the wall.The wire,I believe you are concerned with,is yellow on both ends.The one end of this wire plugs into the "AUDIO" jack of the transmitter and the other end plugs into the "AUDIO OUT"jack on the rear of your TV set.Hope this is helpful.Yours Truly....Harold « Show Less

I haven't used the TV ears, so can't comment on those. We use our Sennheiser on a digital flat screen TV. It connects to the analog audio (headphone) output and works like a charm.

Yes and no. We have a sound system but it is not connected to the TV. The headphones are the type that allow a person to listen to the TV without the sound disturbing another person. He was using them when he got up earlier than me. It appears that the makers of headphones are producing only analog ones; the Radio Shack guy was going to show me digital headphones, but they turned out to be analog connect also. The products that I have been able to find seem to start at $60+; I wouldn't mind the price if I could be sure that the product would work with our set. Thanks for your input.

Some headphones have a volume adjustment on them otherwise if you have the device connected properly you should be able to turn the volume up on the tv you are connected to. You also might have to turn off the internal tv speaker setting on your tv when using this with newer tvs

I had the same problem. I telephoned TV Ears and they said that the battery was probably dead. The battery for the older TV Ears is no longer available at any retail store. They could send a new one for approx $65. Instead I ordered a new set of ears (I think it is a 5) for approx $90.

What type/model headphones did they have? What model TV did they get? The headphones I purchased from Amazon use one of the latest versions of stereo BT frequency.

If your TV doesn't have a headphone jack, you can go on amazon and for $3 buy an adapter that will let you connect your wireless headphone transmitter to the television. Check this out: 2 x RCA Male, 1 x 3.5mm Stereo Female, Y-Cable 6-Inch

Hi Janell, hope this helps. Plug the transmitter unit into the AUDIO OUT plug and then turn the knob on the headphones to select TV. The headphones also get FM radio with the selection dial on the headphone. Good Luck

The Blue Tooth transmitter uses the Headphone jack - not the Audio Out connector used by TV Ears. When something is plugged into the Headphone Jack the audio to the speakers is cut off. The TV volume control will control the volume to the headphones or anything plugged into that jack - such as the Blue Tooth transmitter. The Audio Out Jack is usually not controlled by the TV volume (but some provide this option) and is designed to go to a separate audio amp. TV Ears use Audio Out so the speakers work as well as the TV Ears so the person using the TV Ears can boost the volume above the speaker level.

To Be honest, I have had problems with the TV ears. They only work half the time. I don't know why. When they work, they are fantastic.It just seems to be intermittent. It may be a problem with the connection we have. I just don't know.

This has nothing to do with the headphone, but rather the TV. In my case, my TV has a LINE OUT that I use to connect to the headphone, so the TV volume control, speaker, and mute functions all work as normal. But if you plug the headphone base into the "headphone" jack of the TV, the TV's speaker is almost always muted.Bottom line--check it with any pair of wired headphones/earphones you may have laying around....
