Common questions
- What helps someone hear the TV without blasting the volume?
- Wireless TV listening headphones or a dedicated TV speaker let one person turn the sound up to their own level while everyone else hears the TV normally. It is one of the most appreciated and least expensive fixes.
- Are amplified phones better than hearing aids for calls?
- They solve a different problem. Hearing aids help all day; amplified or captioned phones specifically make calls clearer, with louder volume and on-screen captions of what the caller says. Many people use both.
