When looking for hearing aids, you are looking for something that can help you improve your hearing senses and generally improve your quality of life. However, thanks to technology, hearing aids can do a lot more than just helping you get a better quality hearing.

The Phonak brand has been spearheading technological transformations in the world of hearing aids, providing its customers with a whole new world of acoustics to enjoy and letting them enjoy things that people with normal hearing do.

One way they’ve done this is by developing a TV connector that connects to hearing aids and allows users to enjoy their favourite shows and music just like normal people. This opens up the user to a whole new world of music and entertainment that they couldn’t access before.

What is the Phonak TV Connector?

The Phonak TV connectors are a wireless hearing aid accessory that streams TV and music directly to your hearing aids. They can also transform your Bluetooth-enabled hearing aids into wireless stereo headsets.

The device operates using a simple plug-and-play interface and works with TVs and other audio sources to support direct hearing aid connectivity to Lumity, Paradise, and Marvel hearing aids.

With the device, you can enjoy top-rated sound quality and stream from any TV and stereo system to an unlimited number of hearing aids.

Benefits of the Phonak TV Connector

Using the Phonak TV connector comes with various benefits and solves various problems that people with hearing loss experience. These benefits include:

Easy set-up

The TV connector is simply plug-and-play. You plug it into the TV, and you can automatically stream TV sound directly into your compatible Phonak hearing aids. The whole process takes a few minutes to complete.

Optimised Sound

You just don’t get access to audio, but quality audio. The connector streams sound to Phonak hearing aids. It is fitted with the AutoSense OS, which classifies the streamed signal as either music or speech and optimises the streaming sound quality.

Flexibility

Combined with the Phonak Hearing aids, you can use features like Environmental Balance to adjust the incoming balance between the TV sound and environmental sound so you can still hear others in the room along with the TV or watch the TV with fewer interruptions.

Features of the Phonak TV Connector

As expected, the Phonak TV connector has various hardware and software features that make using the device easier and more efficient.

These features are designed to make it easier for people with hearing loss to enjoy watching TV or listening to music, which can be challenging.

Background noise can make it difficult to find the right volume for everyone in the room, and music and sound effects over dialogue can also make it difficult to follow on-screen conversation. The TV connector is a helpful tool that solves these challenges. It has a variety of features that will enhance your entertainment experience.

These features include:

Long-distance Streaming

The Phonak TV connector’s long-distance streaming feature has a transmission range of up to 15 metres or 50 feet, which allows you to move around freely while you enjoy quality sound in your ears.

Energy-efficient

The connector provides energy-efficient audio streaming from any TV, PC, or HiFi system. It is fitted with a 2.4GHz streaming protocol that helps your hearing aid battery run longer without compromising the quality of the audio.

Custom Volume Control

The Phonak TV connector allows you to control the streaming audio directly on your hearing aids independently of the TV’s volume. This crucial feature ensures you enjoy the best volume for your experience without affecting other people using the same TV or audio source.

Easy Connectivity

You don’t need technical assistance to set up the TV connector. As soon as it is detected within one metre, it automatically pairs with compatible hearing aids in a few easy steps. Its plug-and-play features make it easy to set up the device and start enjoying the experience quickly.

High-quality Sound

The Phonak TV connector has high-quality audio features. It allows you to listen to your favourite shows, movies, and music with top-rated sound for a richer entertainment experience.

Multi-listener Capability

It’s not just you who gets to enjoy the best audio experience. You can use the TV connector with family and friends who also use hearing aids. You can use one device with an unlimited amount of hearing aids.

How to Set Up the Connector

Considering how advanced the Phonak TV connector is, you would expect it to come with an elaborate manual on how to set it up. But that’s not the case. You can set it up in a few quick steps.

The connector works with any TV that has an audio-out port, but the optical audio-out port is the most recommended for the highest-quality stereo sound.

Once you have the connector out of the packaging, check behind the TV to see if there are any audio ports you can hook the TV connector to. Plug the device into the available port, supply it with power, and turn it on.

The device will automatically connect with your hearing aids using AirStream 2.4GHz technology, allowing you to start listening to your TV through them.

If you have any challenges setting up the device, the user manual that comes with it makes everything easier to understand and troubleshoot.
