    If you could not work the ones Aldi had, I would give up now!

    Really?, suppose I could get someone from Age Concern to sort it out for me.

    had ears checked/syringed, lately?


    use some warm olive oil, drop into ear (lay on you side), for about 10mins each ear. this will loosen up any gunk!

    According to the above its got a 3.5mm jack headphone socket with independent volume for headphones.

    Ah. I assumed the headphone jack would cut off the speakers. In that case, OP, the simplest solution is a long 3.5mm jack extension lead, and a pair of headphones, maybe a pair with in-line volume built into the lead, so you can adjust your volume without using the menu on the TV and disturbing others viewing.

    You don't NEED wireless phones if you can cope with a cable running around the room.

    You get them from TV, audio and electronics retailers.

    Google could be your friend in researching them....

    Do you have hearing aids?

    If so go back to NHS [as the is MSE I assume you got NHS supplied digital ones ] and get your hearing checked & the frequency adjusted

    PS I bought the Lidl aid, useless, took it back & got a refund

    Have you had your hearing checked recently? If not then a trip to the GP first may be a good idea.

    Oh Paddy, I've been waiting patiently waiting for model/supplier. If you do get the chance to look at it, please try to get a few details.
