Turn the TV down! Hear All Your Favorite Shows Clearly Again

For individuals with hearing loss, it can be difficult to hear the television clearly. Turning up the volume can be bothersome to other people living in the same household, and reading captions is not a great solution for everyone. However, there is a tool that can help you hear the TV better without the need for changing the volume or relying on captions: a TV streamer.

What is a TV streamer?                          

A TV streamer is a device that connects to your television. It wirelessly sends the sound from the television directly to you. You can purchase a TV streamer that will send the sound to hearing aids, or, if you do not have hearing aids, you can find a TV streamer that sends the signal to a headset you can wear.
