You could get a set of hearing aids that is wi-fi enabled and just use
them instead.

From what I've heard about hearing aids, they are anything but cheap!
(and, probably not designed for "high fidelity" given that speech is
a rather narrow band)

Hearing aids are very programmable. They can turn up any sound tone and
turn down others. My first set had great wifi and would work to hear
the tv, which is what I connected it to, in just about every room of my
house before it lost the wifi signal. The hearing aids themselves
weren't the best match for my hearing loss, so the Dr ended up
suggesting a different set of hearing aids. It has wifi too, but it's
cumbersome and doesn't work that great. The aids themselves are a much
better solution to my need, tho. I quit trying to use the wifi a long
time ago on these.
