(CRAZY) Cheap TV Streamer That Works With ALL Hearing Aids

[@donhayden2617]

You did a great job explaining this setup Brian! I sent you the original email about using the Roku as a streaming. I never left a comment here.

[@HearingClub]

I just got my Phillips 9040’s 2 days ago and now I’m streaming through my Roku TV. It’s now time to disable Closed Captioning forever! Thanks for all you do.

[@RudiXeno]

I’ve been wearing Philips 9040s for a few months now. The streaming sound quality is exceptional. I seem to recall Brian mentioning this in his review of the 9040s.

[@HearingClub]

no way! Thats great news!

[@HearingClub]

well i wouldn't say exceptional but i do think out of all of the Rx Hearing Aids, the philips streaming sounds the best.

[@bobs-Videos]

Great find! I've been using Roku's for years on every TV in the house, and I was going to use a bluetooth transmitter and connect my TV speaker out, but this makes it so much easier and less complicated. Thanks.

[@HearingClub]

Glad I could help!

[@jeffj318]

Great video and information. I wish others could hear the TV, too.

[@7210Shooter]

Yes please do make a video on just hooking up the Roku. This would be of great assistance.

[@HearingClub]

Copy that

[@briflemn]

After watching your video, I figured out something cool. With multiple devices, you can still have the audio available to others in the room. I can simultaneously stream to my hearing aids using my phone and to a Bluetooth speaker with my wife's. Now we can both watch a show and hear it at the same time. Thanks for the tip.

[@HearingClub]

nice!

[@JamesSiekmann]

Thank you thank you for the video. They got my juices flowing so I went and tried the Bluetooth connection on my fire stick and that works perfectly. Also went with the O on Chrome forecast box and that worked perfectly so now when I buy my new hearing aids at Costco I will tell him I don’t not need a streaming box. If you have a TV nowadays, they have Bluetooth bill trade-in so you should be able to connect to the Bluetooth from your TV to your hearing aids without any problems once again thank you you

[@HearingClub]

Anytime James!

[@dmills7375]

I found this the other day. It is a great feature… for single bachelor dude. Not so much if you’re trying to watch with other people in the house. 😃 Guess I’m stuck with my expensive Starkey streamer. My biggest frustration is how frequently it (the Starkey Streamer) drops connection with my HA’s.

[@kenvik-q5t]

Which model Roku box among many on amazon I can purchase for connection to my Resound hearing aids?

[@HearingClub]

I'm pretty sure any of them will work

[@David-Field.Stuff01]

As I understand it the Roku box is connecting to your phone. It sends the TV audio to your phone and your phone then sends that audio to your hearing aids. The Roku box is NOT connecting to your hearing aids. This is why the brand of hearing aid does not matter. If you can stream from your phone then the Roku can stream to your TV.

[@charliejg]

Because I got Philips 9050 hearing aids, I got the TV streaming box free. I've tried it and wasn't really impressed with the sound quality. I had to do a mix of the sound from the hearing aids with the external sound which is easy to do in the TV stream mode of the Hearlink 2 app. However, in the end I feel like the quality of the sound just listening to my TV speaker system without the Philips streaming box is plenty good enough. Thanks for sharing this tip!

[@geralynmacvittie2785]

Great info, thanks. I really appreciate the efforts you put into providing information. As a new hearing aid user I find your insight to be invaluable.

[@HearingClub]

thats why im here, for your guys!

[@thistlemoon1]

I just did this! It's great! The stream quality of my ReSound fp962-drw is crap but the fact it works is astounding!

[@catmo3462]

Thank you thank you for this tip. I have Jabra Enhance HAs that stream to my iphone and was struggling with using my TV. Tried a bluetooth adapter and couldn't get the sound quality. So, ordered a Roku Express for $20 on Amazon for my 1080p older somewhat dumb tv,.Hooked it up in 10 minutes, downloaded the Roku app, changed the headphone setting ("private listening") and its great!! As I cut the cord about 8 years ago, I do a lot of KZbin videos, which Roku had on its app list. I no longer have to watch videos on my phone! I suppose the only downside compared to Jabra's TV Streamer ($300) is if I have company and they want to watch TV - but typically not a thing in my home! Can't thank you enough and now subscribing!

[@HearingClub]

My pleasure and welcome to the hearing club family!

[@carlossantiso]

Thanks! +I didn't even have to buy anything.... just download the Roku app because I happen to have a Roku TV. Downloaded the app, connected it to my TVs and voila! I had streaming right to my hearing aid through my phone. I have had all this time and I had no clue. Thanks, once again!

[@LastTrump7]

What did you download the app to? Phone or iPad? If so the streaming is coming from your phone or iPad right?

[@HearingClub]

My pleasure!

[@HearingClub]

The streaming sound will go to whatever the app is on. Yes. And if your iPhone sound goes to your hearing aids, so will the roku.

[@stevejones5391]

Sound only played then using Roku channels/streaming. not any TV source. Ruko was plugged into ARC hdmi port.

[@kenvik-q5t]

So, do you know whether having Apple TV 4k streaming box linked to Tv set can stream audio to your prescription hearing aids that are bluetooth instead of Roku streaming box

[@HearingClub]

I haven't tried and don't have that apple thing. If I get time, I'll look into it.

[@JetSL9630]

Please tell me, when using Roku Streaming, Other people are watching TV, will it affect them and make them watch without sound? Only our hearing aids have sound? Or is the sound presented in a synchronous manner, with other people listening live and me listening to the hearing aid?

[@herminiodiaz1581]

Great video. I did get the audio on my Jabra hearing aids but I could not see the corresponding video selected on my Samsung TV . Please comment. Thank you Brian.

[@albertmeursault]

THis is such a game changer! Thank you for this awesome tip for us HA wearers :)

[@HearingClub]

Glad I could help!

[@richardneilsen5538]

Great Video. I have Jabra Pro 20 hearing aids and a older Roku 3 that doesn't have this feature. The same IPhone app connects a newer Roku TV. I tried this feature on a fire cube and it works sort of. You have to turn off you cell phone or otherwise disconnect the pairing to your cell phone and it connects but turns off the TV speaker. Then you have to disconnect from the fire cube and repair the cell phone to your aids. Waiting for (if ever) Jabra to release the Auracast feature for IPhones.

[@HearingClub]

same here, i can't believe we don't have auracast with the iphones STILL

[@sailork3506]

At 9:37 it says hit the settings button on the roku remote app and you get controls. When I hit settings, I get only nonsense, like "rate us", "terms of use", "privacy policy", "contact us", troubleshoot and share. Where is the "control" stuff?

[@HearingClub]

Hmm I'm not sure. Are there more roku apps maybe? Are you using the "roku remote" app? It's super straight forward I'm not sure.

[@sailork3506]

I don't know either. Does it require the premium app? I have the 4K roku, but its pretty old at this point. Certainly no option for private sound like you found....

[@douglashilton4048]

I have a better idea. Why don't these hearing aid manufactures just add the proper Bluetooth signals to there hearing aids so that they will work on tv's. it's BS that they don't

[@kenvik-q5t]

They already did, for example, the hearing aids of 2023 Resound Nexia has a Bluetooth LE, also Audocast software. In that one of the leaders of HA industry already put Apple behind with this low energy Bluetooth capability.

[@HearingClub]

I agree 100% it's bs

[@fredparsons5134]

My Phonak aids have built in Bluetooth and will sync up with my older Samsung tv but as you have pointed out with the Roku app it mutes the sound for others, the same as my Samsung tv. Wish there was a way to do both beside a tv streamer box.

I have an Apple TV system. Do you know if this Roku will work as just a streamer or it has to be used as the device giving the input to the tv and then streamed? . Love your channel. I didn't even know Costco sold HA's until I happened upon your channel....bought a pair of Jabra 20's at Costco and love them! Great service, great HA's and the price is excellent! Thanks.

[@HearingClub]

my pleasure James. You have to be using the roku to watch tv to get it to stream. It won't work as a stand alone tv streamer without using it to watch tv.

[@stevejones5391]

Best to clarify that sound source is streaming via the ruko. I'd you use another sound source from TV (IE broadcast TV) it will not work

[@tarpkir]

I have a Roku TV, so everything comes through the Roku, including broadcast OTA TV.

[@owenoiffer]

Great video, I love the Roku streaming system by far it’s the best, I’m familiar with the feature and it works great. However as you said the audio quality is not great on my Jabar Enhance Pro 20 but it works well, I actually switch To my AirPods for better which is ok for me as I only have mild to moderate hearing loss.

[@HearingClub]

Nice!

[@David-Field.Stuff01]

Great video. I noticed something else you mentioned which I found very interesting. You said that you sometimes use non prescription OTC hearing aids to watch TV because the sound quality is better. Why would the sound quality be better?

[@HearingClub]

Only the streaming sound quality. Not the overall sound quality.

[@Marvin-fn7ks]

I looked online and you can connect up to 4 devices through the ROKU streamer using phones so you could be using your hearing aids and another could use headphones etc on their phones watching the same program. I haven’t tried this yet.

[@HearingClub]

omg i didn't think abotu that, lemme know if it works!

[@booch221]

You can only watch programs streaming on Roku, correct? I assume you can't watch regular broadcast or cable TV.

[@HearingClub]

if you are using the roku to watch it, yes. If you are not using the roku to watch it, no

[@patrickryan8493]

Thank you for this video regarding using a ROKU device. I have an older model but I tried it anyways after downloading the ROKU app and it works. However it only works when watching programs through ROKU, not cable programs. Am I missing something that I'm not aware of? How do I stream to my HA while watching Xfinity cable programs? Thanks again for your very informative and truthful information.

[@HearingClub]

Unfortunately it only works when watching TV using the roku.

[@johnbrown7227]

@@HearingClub That should be made clear right up front. All my tv content goes through AppleTV on 1 input but I have another input for my PC and another for HDMI connected to anything and another input to a blueray player ... (5 inputs). To have sound from all these going to hearing aids I use optical output from TV to HA proprietary TV Connector - but hope Auracast will eliminate that need one day.

[@gregstorm3754]

[@northgeorgiagal6267]

@@HearingClub Will OEM (philips etc) tv streaming devices for HAs also mute the TV? I tried the Roku out with my earbuds and it muted the tv also. It would be great if I lived alone, but the HUBS wants the sound through the tv.. LOL

@@northgeorgiagal6267 I have the Jabra Enhance Pro 2 with a TV streamer. When watching a movie, I control my own streamer's volume to my hearing aids with my phone and at the same time, my wife can control the TV volume with the remote control, without affecting the other. In other words, the sound to the streamer/hearing aids AND the sound to the TV operate independently and they they don't cancel nor mute each other. Hope that helps.

[@owenoiffer]

You can share your Roku sound with another person. If you are both using iPods or other compatible headsets or earbuds you can share your audio from the regular audio function on you iPhone or iPads (sorry android users). I tested this with two sets of AirPods streaming your video off my Roku. It did not seem to work sharing with my Jabar Enhanced Pro wo’s. This works for me as I have only mild to moderate hearing loss and the iPods have much better audio quality. So we can watch our programs together be it KZbin Netflix or any other apps on the Ruko. It would probably also work when you air play to your Ruko

[@HearingClub]

Oh that's great! Thank you for the info! You hear that guys??? If you have hearing aids, get yourself an iPhone!!!!

[@WadersInAlaska]

Hi Brian, I recently purchased the Jabra Enhance 20 hearing aids and have been trying to connect them to my 2014 MacBook Pro without success. I'm wondering if you or anyone else has been able to connect a Roku device to a PC (either Mac or Windows) and successfully stream audio to a pair of hearing aids. Any insights or experiences you can share would be greatly appreciated. I hate to purchase a ROKU and then it not work for streaming between hearing aids and my computer. Cheers from Alaska!!!

Will it work with a roku tv or is the box mandatory?

[@johncna2952]

How interesting! We have Directv Stream plus Netflix, Hulu and Max. Since Roku has apps for all of those, I can watch anything, including shows recorded on the DTVS DVR through my hearing aids. Sound quality is certainty not on par with my man-cave Dolby surround system, but acceptable for those times I don't want to disturb anyone else.

[@HearingClub]

Haha I bet you have a nice man cave setup. I can’t wait to have one of my own someday

[@capthr]

It will only work when you are streaming over Roku? Will not work with cable tv?

[@HearingClub]

It will work when streaming with roku

[@emeth1798]

I totally understand what you are saying about the extra listening devices. I have had hearing aids for years and have had many brands. If you have hearing aids how do you make your videos on your computer via Bluetooth? My phone clip died on me yesterday and I am very deaf and depend on Bluetooth for my PC. Is there a work around for this application. Yes, another phone clip is $259.00 I do have Windows 11 but not sure how far advanced they are for all hearing aids.

Hi Brian, It seems the 2 killer issues with the Roku streamer described in this video are (1) no TV sound at same time as streaming and (2) no cable TV streaming, only Roku subscribed TV channels can be streamed. Having just purchased Jabra E20 hearing aids at Costco that supposedly include Auracast (broadcast streaming) and Bluetooth 5.3 ( low energy), I'm wondering if there are any other, perhaps newer, "reasonably priced" streaming boxes that will resolve issues (1) and (2)? I think Auracast support will resolve issue (1). The proprietary Jabra/Resound streamer is still more than $300 CAD and I'm assuming it also resolves issue (2). I'm also not sure it supports streaming to other devices such as headphones, etc or is proprietary to Jabra/Resound devices. If you have any new info regarding this, another video post would be wonderful!! Thanks, Brad

I've had Earcentric HA from Amazon (😮) for a year and now am ready to upgrade. These are like training wheels. I found out what I want without paying $6k the audiologist told me I needed.

Thanks Brian wish you were in Ventura.

[@HearingClub]

Omg thank you so much! So yes, there are tv streamers for specific Rx Hearing Aids. If you get jabras, you can get the proprietary jabra streamer, the same thing with philips, rexton, they all have their specific streamers. They are $250+ but they WILL allow the hearing aid wearer to get the audio from the TV streamed to their hearing aids and the other person that doesn't wear hearing aids will still hear the audio from the TV so you can BOTH have your own audio and control the volume separately. Maybe I should make a video on this. The 2.99 membership is the one I refer to. That would be huge and definitely help the channel, but it's 2.99 per month, and you can cancel anytime. Let me know if you have any more questions!!

😅Can someone hear the TV in the room while you hear it on your hearing aids with the Roku approach? That is an important feature for most of us if not listening solo

Hi Mary! I actually cover this in the video but i guess you missed it. This will mute the TV so it will only work while watching solo.

[@wschield608]

When screaming to your hearing aids can others still hear the tv?

[@HearingClub]

Not with this method, it will mute the tv.

[@coldspring624]

My hearing is really bad It has been for years. Of all the sounds I miss the last on the list would be TV.

[@HearingClub]

understood

[@danv1061]

Only works for programming from Roku, not from your cable source.

You should have said up front that putting Roku in listening mode mutes the sound for everyone else. Not very helpful for anyone other than single people watching TV alone. That's why people buy the more expensive devices, so the TV sound is still available to everyone else!

[@HearingClub]

I did say that in the video. You should pay a little more attention ;)

[@campbellva]

@@HearingClub You didn't read what I said. It would have been nice if you'd have mentioned that particular bit of info "up front," like maybe within the first 2 or 3 minutes of your 6 minute intro instead of over 12 minutes into the video.

I agree with this person. I almost always watch with my family. This doesn’t help

[@AlanGGoldstein]

You didn’t post where to buy this for $24

[@HearingClub]

there should be a link in the video but i did go back and check and its now 29.00. The amazon prices always change but at the time of the video it was 24.

Now if I could stream from my MacBook, the world would be a better place.

[@HearingClub]

You can IF it's a new enough Mac and you have a mfi hearing aid

[@bobschwartz674]

@@HearingClub I have Philips 9040s but the Mac is 2017

I don't get this? I wear hearing aids from Costco. The KS-10.0. I stream all the time! Using my smart TV, or Firestick, I just Bluetooth pare directly to my hearing aids. Doesn't everyone do this?? It's super easy to go into settings on my Firestick, turn on paring, and put my hearing aids into paring mode, pare them up, and Voilà! I only do this the first time... Now, my hearing aids just connect automatically.

[@HearingClub]

That’s great!

[@blackwolfacres2759]

No one else in the room can hear the TV now. How to solve that?

[@HearingClub]

I actually explain this in the video. Watchnthe entire video and if you still have questions, let me know.

[@blackwolfacres2759]

You explain that it happens and its a solo viewer option. So there is no workaround at this point?
