Hearing amplifier for seniors

Television: Finally enjoying the most popular pastime again

The TV habits of older people have changed significantly in recent years. While they used to watch mainly public broadcasters, they are now increasingly using streaming services. But watching TV remains seniors' favorite pastime, as a study shows. A full 92% of people over 60 watch TV every day. They watch an average of 3.5 hours a day. For many seniors, television has an important function in everyday life. It offers them entertainment and information, but also company and distraction. Particularly in the darker months of the year, television can be a welcome change, and in times of loneliness or illness, it can even be a valuable source of support.

The prerequisite for the best functioning social program is that we can enjoy it without difficulty and with alert senses. If hearing deteriorates, the TV experience is impaired and cozy TV evenings quickly become a continuing annoyance. Special TV accessories for seniors promise help. In addition to TV sets with simple controls or remote controls with extra-large buttons, these also include TV hearing aids such as the TV hearing amplifier OSKAR from faller audio.

TV accessories for seniors: Hearing amplifiers or wireless headphones?

Nowadays, there are various TV listening aids that allow people with hearing impairments to enjoy an improved TV viewing experience. Among the most popular are TV listening amplifiers and wireless TV headphones for seniors, for example, wireless headphones, Bluetooth headphones and chin-bar headphones.

Although wireless TV headphones are a popular choice, they show some drawbacks where TV listening amplifiers offer advantages:

  • Headphones can quickly become uncomfortable, especially if they are worn for long periods of time. The weight and size of the headphones can be a problem, especially for people with physical limitations or sensitive skin. The OSKAR , on the other hand, works like a portable speaker and can easily be taken to the desired listening location.

  • TV headphones often require complicated setup and synchronization with the TV. In contrast, the OSKAR TV sound amplifier is easier to install and operate. It is simply connected to the TV and is also equipped with large, easily recognizable switches and buttons.
  • Headphones can make users feel isolated from their surroundings. When they hear the sound of the TV through the headphones, they are often no longer able to participate in conversations or activities in their immediate surroundings. Blocking out ambient noise can be particularly dangerous if a fire alarm or emergency occurs and warning signals cannot be heard. The OSKAR TV sound amplifier for seniors, on the other hand, amplifies the TV sound and allows users to participate in the action while adjusting the volume to their individual needs.
  • Headphones for televisions are not suitable for hearing aid wearers. They often cannot be used in parallel and the hearing aid must first be removed from the ear. This is not necessary with the OSKAR TV hearing system. It has been specially developed to amplify dialog: the perfect complement to a hearing aid.

Good idea, strong technology

The OSKAR TV hearing amplifier for seniors

OSKAR helps people with hearing problems to finally understand the television again. Motivated by his own father, who could no longer understand speech due to hearing loss, faller-audio founder Marcell Faller developed the special technology for dialog optimization together with hearing acousticians and international research companies.

The TV hearing system for seniors consists of a base station, which acts as a transmitter, and a receiver in the form of a portable speaker. These two components are wirelessly connected to each other. All you need to do is connect the base station to your TV via a 3.5 mm audio connector (jack) or an optical audio output and place the portable speaker near you.

The dialog amplification of OSKAR makes it much easier to understand speech when watching TV. The TV loudspeaker specifically amplifies the important sound frequencies to reproduce speech clearly while filtering out distracting background noise. With different listening profiles, you can adjust the sound individually and set it to a comfortable volume. This means that other people in the room are not disturbed while you enjoy the TV program in optimum quality.

The user-friendly and intuitive "one-button" operation of the OSKAR TV voice amplifier for seniors ensures extremely easy handling and dispenses with unnecessary functions.
