1 in 8 of Americans experience some degree of hearing loss, according to NIDCD. So if you are a senior or hearing impaired, you are not a lone. Why Do You Need TV Speakers for Seniors and Hard of Hearing?From traditional TVs to smart TVs with built-in Bluetooth and WiFi, TV technology and design are changing constantly, TV screens become slimmer and sleeker with improved picture quality and definition, but TVs’ built-in speakers have obviously lagged behind in development, with tiny and poor sound. Poor Built-in TV Sound QualityMost people will choose to supplement the built-in TV speakers with either a surround sound system or a soundbar, but these devices usually focus on rich sound rather than sound clarity. And most of the time, the elderly or hearing-impaired like you may still tend to turn up the TV volume when they can't hear clearly, but a higher volume doesn't always mean they can hear the words more clearly (as background noise is enhanced too), and this can be harmful to their hearing, as well as irritate their family members and even neighbors. Uncomfortable Wireless HeadsetsMost wireless TV headsets become uncomfortable after prolonged use, and it can be difficult for you to hear others in the room with your headphones on. Even if you use a hearing aid, you still have to remove the TV headphones and replace them with a hearing aid to hear your surroundings. Best Wireless TV Speaker for Seniors and Hard of HearingThese TV speakers feature hearing aid technology for clear and intelligible sound. They can be used with hearing aids while watching TV. You can place them right next to you and get a much clearer sound without turning up the volume above normal listening levels.
