How TVListener Works
Simple technology that solves a frustrating problem. No complicated setup, no wires to your TV, just clear audio when you need it.
Why TV Dialogue Is So Hard to Hear
If you find yourself constantly asking “What did they say?” while watching TV, you're not alone. Modern televisions are designed to be thin and sleek, but this comes at a cost: the speakers are tiny and often point downward or backward instead of toward you.
Add to that the trend in modern TV and film production to emphasize dramatic music and sound effects, often at the expense of dialogue clarity. Action scenes boom while conversations mumble. It's a common frustration.
Turning up the volume helps with dialogue, but then the explosions, music, and commercials become unbearably loud. And if you live with others, cranking the volume creates tension in the household.
The Personal Audio Solution
TVListener takes a different approach. Instead of making the TV louder for everyone, it delivers amplified audio directly to your ears at whatever volume is comfortable for you.
The concept is simple: a wireless system picks up your TV's audio and transmits it to a lightweight personal speaker or headset that you wear. You control your own volume independently of the television.
This means you can have crystal-clear dialogue at a volume that works for you, while the TV stays at a normal level (or even muted) for everyone else in the room. No more volume wars. No more rewinding to catch what was said.
Getting Started Is Easy
Unbox and Charge
TVListener arrives ready to use. Simply charge it fully before your first use - the rechargeable battery means no hunting for replacement batteries.
Position and Power On
Place the base unit near your TV. No cables to connect to your television - TVListener picks up audio through the air. Turn on your personal unit and you're connected.
Adjust and Enjoy
Use the simple volume control to set your perfect level. Now you're hearing every word clearly while the TV stays at a comfortable volume for others.
Why This Approach Works Better
Dialogue Enhancement
Unlike simply turning up the TV, personal audio amplification can emphasize the frequencies where human speech lives. This means voices come through clearly without amplifying the rumbling bass of explosions and music.
Household Harmony
When one person needs the TV louder, it affects everyone. With personal audio, each person gets their preferred volume. Watch together comfortably again, even if your hearing needs differ.
Late-Night Watching
Want to watch TV after others have gone to bed? With personal audio, you can enjoy your shows at full volume without disturbing sleeping family members or neighbours.
No Technical Setup
Unlike soundbars or complex audio systems that require connecting cables and configuring settings, TVListener works independently of your TV. If you can turn on a radio, you can use TVListener.
A Note About What TVListener Is (And Isn't)
TVListener is a personal sound amplifier designed specifically for TV watching. It's consumer electronics for recreational use - similar to how binoculars help you see distant objects without being a medical device.
TVListener is not a hearing aid and is not intended to diagnose, treat, or compensate for hearing impairment. If you have concerns about your hearing, we encourage you to consult with a healthcare professional.
Many people who use TVListener have perfectly normal hearing - they simply struggle with modern TV audio for the reasons we've described. Others find it complements their hearing aids for TV watching specifically.
