TV Headphones Sennheiser RS4200
Hi all, hope someone can help.
My next door neighbour, who is 98 years old, is rather deaf, and we would like to get her a pair of TV headphones to make everyone's life a little easier - her's esspecially! I am considering buying her the above headphones but I don't know anything abou them; in particular, how they would connect to her tv/ video player. She has a Panasonic NV SJ210B-K television that has two scart sockets, but nothing else; and her video player is a Mitsubishi CT-21M3BM, which also doesn't seem to have any audio output facilies; it too has two scart sockets. Does anyone know if the headphones would connect to either of these pieces of equipment and if so, how? TIA Mustafa |

Just wondering about this. If she has a hearing aid wouldn't it be a better plan to use an inductive loop coupler? That hearing aid would have been designed for her particular problem and linking the TV sound directly to it would also benefit by the same sound tailoring. -- Adrian C Yes, of course you're absolutely right. However, she won't wear her hearing aids, she says thy're too uncomfortable, and in any case, she only has one although her hearing is universally damaged. I've just been talking to the headphone manufacturers and they were surprised neither the tv or the video had jack or phone outlets, but if they have, I can't see them. Thanks for your response Mustafa |

Thanks for your response Mustafa If he has hearing aids the (best) solution is a wireless communication system (FM). I personally have this and would recommend it. A wireless communication FM system consists of a transmitter, which picks up voices near the transmitter or sounds from a TV speaker and sends it via radio waves, wirelessly, directly to the tiny radio (FM) receiver, which is connected onto the personal hearing instrument (hearing aids). No connections to the TV are involved. Range is about 100 feet and being FM you can hear the TV or voices through walls. They are expensive but work, available through an audiologist and matched to the specific hearing aids manufacturer. Good also, are available from TV stores and uses an invisible light beam transmission to a set of headphones. Works good but you need an audio output jack on the TV. If anyone is "handy" a jack can be purchased at Radio Shack and added to the TV. Requires some soldering. Next would be a device like ListenUp, which is advertised on TV and ARP magazine. No idea how good but I assume they would be OK. A device you wear with ear buds cost $20 with shipping. Note: I have no relationship with this company nor do I recommend them, as I don't know anything about the product. www.buylistenup.com/arp |
