The BEST Way to Hear Your TV using Roku

[@danleonard3600]

❤Rachel. Thank you so much. I have a tv in my basement “man cave” that I watch when my wife and I each want to watch something different. The furnace nearby always interfered when it kicked in. This solved that issue and the sound is so much better. I wish I’d heard of this sooner.

[@rachaelcookaud2695]

That is so great, Dan! I just learned of this myself and had to share. So glad it works for you!

[@nicholaspaul2458]

Thank you so much. I have a Roku stick and never knew of this feature. Tried it and it is great. Your channel has very good information and advice. Thanks again!

[@Sashazur]

Thanks I’ll try this out! P. S. TCL isn’t the only manufacturer of TVs with Roku built in. Others are Sharp, Westinghouse, Phillips, Onn.

[@captjon2261]

Another way to connect to TV is with a Digital/Analog converter connected to a BT transmitter. This allows you to listen via your hearing aids while others still hear the normal TV audio. I bought both the converter that connects to the Digital Audio Output on TV and includes required cables and BT transmitter on Amazon for about $27.

Thank you for the information. Making television enjoyable again is one thing i am looking forward to. Television has been more of a struggle the last 6. months. The setup i am using makes it difficult to relax and watch television. 😢I have been watching shows on my tablet because it’s easier to sit close to the speaker and go to a quiet room. It will be nice to watch on a bigger screen . I have used the captions for years whether I could hear and understand the television or not . I will probably use captions anytime they are available.

Rachel, Great video! I'm using a Resound Multi-Mic & connecting it with an Aux cord & streaming directly to my $1600 Costco Jabra Enhance Pro 20 hearing aids. This works great with my TV & both of my laptops with the added benefit of not needing more than one accessory!

[@stevejones5391]

Best to mention that only sound streamed thru the Ruko can be heard via the app to hearing aids. IE sound from broadcast source or DVD player will not be heard.

[@lefttea]

Learn something new everyday! Awesome tip!

[@joniwittwer5280]

Can you ease do a follow up video for those of us who want to set up the additional device so that we can watch with family? What devices are available and how to set them up would be great.

[@rachaelcookaud2695]

What brand of hearing aid do you have? You will need the proprietary streamer for your own brand of hearing aids.

Question: I have Xfinity cable and internet... I don't stream.... can I still use xfinity cable tv options with Roku or do I have to switch over to Roku for all my TV?

[@davidgolden4127]

Thank you for the great information about Roku. I have Connect Clip that I use with my Oticon More 1 hearing aids. I use it to stream from my computer to the hearing aids. Will the sound quality be the same if I get a Roku to connect to my TV? Do you think the quality would be the the same with if I used the Oticon TV adaptor? I understand the advantage of using the Oticon adapter when watching with more than one person, but I am more concerned about getting the best quality. Thanks for another fantastic video.

I wish you offered troubleshooting for tv streaming re: Miracle Ear aids.

[@debmussallem3892]

Love Roku devices for tv with my HA. But like you said it’s only for solo user for our multi family HA users.

[@rachaelcookaud2695]

Yes but you can always get a proprietary TV streamer for the model of your hearing aids! Ask your provider and then you get the best of both worlds!

[@DeafDrone]

Thanks for this great info. We have several Roku devices and I did not know this. I’m setup and streaming into my Phonak Marvel now. 👍 I enjoy watching your videos, especially the ones on conditions that cause hearing loss. Have you covered the subject of a Cholesteatoma in any of your previous videos.?

[@sofiashlyak5946]

I have a little streeming device from Amazon and set it up in my TV. Also I has hearing aids Oticon Real3. How could I get good streeming for my hearing aids? My husband uses sony transmitter head phones and very happy with streeming with muting TV. When I use my pair of head phones without hearing aids, I am not always can hear well. I tried use headphones on the top of hearing aids and I felt pain on the top of my head and in my ears while the sound was great. Is it a way to help me ? Thank you.

[@markhenderson558]

this is great! I have a Phonak TV link for upstairs but I can use this technique when I am on the treadmill downstairs. The treadmill noise makes it really difficult to hear dialog and I depend on subtitles to watch anything

[@rachaelcookaud2695]

This will totally help solve that! Awesome.

[@markhenderson558]

@@rachaelcookaud2695 unfortunately it only works on these Roku devices: Roku Express, Roku Express+, Roku Streaming Stick, Roku Streaming Stick+, Roku Ultra, and Roku TV.

[@fredw-ed4pg]

Thanks for an informative video.

[@CharlesLScofieldJr]

Figures I see this cool video and I decide to try out my hearing aids to see if they will work with my Roku Ultra, and guess what i had forgotten to plug in the charger. They were dead so I will have to wait for them to charge up before I try this out.

[@pasad335]

I got a little Bluetooth streaming device for $30 and it's great. Plugs into the TV headphone jack.

[@akquicksilver]

Just tried for 30 minutes to create my account and the app kept closing before I finished! Is there away to stream to my hearing aids and still have the sound through our speakers for my spouse?

[@cyclamengarden]

Which one of the Roku devices will this work with? They must have at least 8 and different years models as well.

[@loony457]

So does this mean I can only hear programmes on ROKU NOT THE NORMAL TV PLAYED PROGRAMMING?

[@lcarliner]

I have a model 2017 Samsung HD smart TV, but it lacks separate audio output jacks. The TV, however, has Toslink optical ount output. and has wifi wireless connectivity capability Would a Roku device work in my situation? The TV has no blutooth sount output capability,.

[@auntpie]

I am reasonably sure that it would, because I stumbled across this trick one day when just playing with the Roku app, and was surprised when I pushed that button because I had no special setup, just the basic Roku setup. I love Rokus.

[@Songwriter376]

Not to mention in many movies the new thing is for the actors to whisper instead of speaking.

[@sarahbreak6602]

Great understanding!

[@shaarifshafi]

I’ve a slow ringing in my ears and we know that’s called tinnitus but I want to share my other symptoms that are: 1) feeling of earfullness sometimes 2) constant ear popping more during yawning 3) thunder sound when I move my eyes or tightly press them especially when I wake up 4) I can’t tolerate very loud sounds but only very loud also I don’t feel any hearing loss I can hear everything very clear even whispers of someone talking next to my room, please help🙏🏻

[@danleonard3600]

I suggest you see an ENT rather than trying to use you tube to fix your problem. I suspect Rachel and Dr. Cliff would say the same.

[@rachaelcookaud2695]

Hi, Shaarif. Although these symptoms are not uncommon, I always recommend an in-person evaluation with an audiologist or Ear Nose and Throat specialist who can assess your symptoms and give you a proper diagnosis if you are worried about your ears, hearing, or tinnitus.

[@shaarifshafi]

@@rachaelcookaud2695 I’m worried if doctor said you have hearing loss problem 😭

[@garryrice6588]

I want to stream though my hearing aids! Can you recommend one to buy that is good quality? I want to watch movies with my family

[@rachaelcookaud2695]

It is based on the brand of hearing aids you currently have!

[@Sashazur]

There are a lot of hearing aids that can stream. If you have an iPhone you should make sure any hearing aids you get are “MFI” (made for iPhone), which makes standing with them easier. You can get hearing aids online, from a local hearing aids store or audiologist, or at Costco. This channel is a good source of info about which brands are good.
