Hearing amplifiers for seniors

Television: Finally enjoying the most popular leisure activity again

The television habits of older people have changed significantly in recent years. Whereas they used to watch mainly public broadcasters, they now increasingly use streaming services. However, television remains the favorite leisure activity of seniors, as a study shows. A full 92% of people over the age of 60 watch television every day. On average, they watch 3.5 hours a day. Television plays an important role in the daily lives of many seniors. It provides them with entertainment and information, but also companionship and distraction. Especially in the dark season, television can be a welcome diversion, 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 television experience is impaired and cozy evenings in front of the TV quickly become a constant annoyance.Special TV accessories for seniors can help. In addition to televisions 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 hearing aids available that enable people with hearing impairments to enjoy a better TV experience. Among the most popular are TV hearing amplifiers and wireless TV headphones for seniors, such as wireless headphones, Bluetooth headphones, and chin rest headphones.

Although wireless TV headphones are a popular choice, they have some disadvantages where TV audio amplifiers offer advantages:

  • Headphones can quickly become uncomfortable, especially when worn for long periods of time. The weight and size of headphones can be a problem, especially for people with physical limitations or sensitive skin. 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 hearing amplifier is easier to install and operate. It simply connects to the TV and is equipped with large, easy-to-identify switches and buttons.
  • Headphones can cause users to feel isolated from their surroundings. When they listen to the TV through headphones, they are often unable to participate in conversations or activities in their immediate environment. Blocking out ambient noise can be particularly dangerous if a fire alarm or emergency occurs and warning signals cannot be heard. The OSKAR TV hearing amplifier for seniors, on the other hand, amplifies the TV sound and allows users to participate in what is happening while at the same time adjusting the volume to suit their individual needs.
  • Headphones for televisions are not suitable for hearing aid users. They often cannot be used at the same time, and the hearing aid must first be removed from the ear. This is not necessary with the OSKAR TV hearing system. It was specially developed to amplify dialogue: the perfect complement to a hearing aid.

Good idea, powerful technology

The OSKAR TV hearing amplifier for seniors

OSKAR helps people with hearing problems finally understand the television again. Motivated by his own father, who was unable to understand speech due to hearing loss, faller-audio founder Marcell Faller developed this special dialogue optimization technology in collaboration with hearing care professionals and international research companies.

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

The OSKAR's dialogue enhancement makes it much easier to understand speech when watching television. The TV speaker specifically amplifies the important sound frequencies to reproduce speech clearly, while filtering out distracting background noise. With different hearing profiles, you can customize the sound 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 optimal quality.

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