Television

When using your instruments for the first time with the TV you need to listen to programmes where the speech is clear and distinct so that you can get used to hearing with them, for example the news or documentaries, and not soaps etc where the sounds are more complex. Once you get used to this type of listening situation then you can try other programmes. Remember, this is an artificial scenario, the person on the TV is speaking into a microphone, that signal is then transmitted through your television and is then picked up by your hearing aid, this is not the same as hearing someone one to one in the same room as you.
