My husband uses the ear muff style tv sound transmitter but he cannot hear room conversation without removing them. Would TV ears be better?

Yes, you can hear room conversations but after prolong use, they hurt my ears. I do have small ear canals.

TV ears are great. The only contrary remark is if you should break the metal band between the ear pods. Do not expect them to replace or repair. I sent a pair to their address in So Cal along with the broken ear pods/band with my approval to repair or replace with my credit card number. They NEVER responded in any form... Other than that they are worth the cost. Thank you for asking. DP

I have never used the Leap Frog ear phones, but my son wears his while we watch TV in the same room and doesn't seem to have any issues with hearing through them.

There is a volume control on the headset turn that up. You are not suppose to hear the tv when you have them on.

I had used TV Ears in the past. But TrueDiu Ears are far better. I rate them higly due longer charge time.

I am interested in knowing the same thing. My father wears hearing aids and still the tv is so loud you can't hear yourself think. I would like to know if I can sit in a room and watch the same program with him, have the tv at a normal level and have him be able to turn his headphones up so he can hear or does the tv itself have to be muted? No one mentions this information in the reviews.

Yes,I wear it when I am watching TV and I set the control so that all I hear is the sound coming from the earpiece. But, I must say that when my husband speaks to me, I must remove one earpiece to hear him.

These headphones don't eliminate background noise unless you really increase the volume. I like them because I hear the TV voice very well and at the same time if my wife needs me, she doen't need to yell. GOOD GRIEF! The TV background noise doesn't eliminate what you hear from people talking unless you are running in surround sound. Paul in Tulsa

Hi Bea, I have used Tv ears for over 5 years. I have had 2 pair break . I found them soso. I tried several different head phones, Sony RCA Sennheiser. All were not to my satisfaction. Then I bought Sennheiser 830-TV they are like TV ears but about 1000% better. They are more costly but well worth the price. Clearer sound excellent volume control Easy and softer on your ears. Being wireless makes the set up a snap. I hope this helps you. I got mine on Amazon. If you no like send them back for a full refund.

These headsets do not cut the sound from the TV, so both can hear the sound. If you mute the TV sound however, then only the earphones pickup the sound.

It depends on your TV. Best way to tell is to plug in a regular wired headphones, if this muted your TV speakers then so will this BT transmitter.

The TV ears work great. You have volume control on the ears so your TV can even be on mute. When my wife wants to read in the same room there is absolutely no noise to disturb her.

Not being a doctor, not sure if they would help hard of hearing people or not...although, I would think some help would be there....first of all, you wouldn't be susceptible to other noises in the room....the ear phones would isolate the TV sound....you would have to try them, I would think....good luck..

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.

They should have no problem. I can mute the TV completely and still I have sound and can adjust it. I hooked my headphones into the earphone jack on the TV and it worked great without having to use audio jacks.

Yes, with TV ears -BUT: the earpieces tend to come apart & replacements are rather costly. Try not to drop the ears or they internal components may break & then new ears needed.

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.

The wireless headphones come with a transmitter with two cables attached . You simply plug these cables in to the back of the TV--One is usually white and the other is red. The transmitter is then capable of sending the sound to the headphones. You can then MUTE the sound on the TV and you hear the sound loud and clear and no one else can hear anything . It would be as if the TV was NOT on. My house is wired forwireless and some TV are not adaptable so check for this before committing.
