My partner listens to the tv loud enough to hurt my ears, would I still be able to hear it with these? And, no, he won't go get hearing aids. Thanks!

You could also get him/her a pair of headphones designed just for this - $30 - $50 - that allows one to turn the volume up where the wearer needs it without blasting others in the room or neighbors. Or, you could wear the headphones which will block quite a bit but offer clearer sound. i have worn a lot of hearing protection - sleep with plugs always - and feel that plugs will deliver fuzzy TV sound.

These ear plugs have noise reduction level of 32 decibels. They appear to have the highest noise reduction rating available on the market. There is a change in perception of how it sounds because of how the human ear works, even if the drop in noise is not all that significant. Relatively speaking, a normal conversation, however, is around 60-65 decibels.

You can still watch tv well enough with these in as long as the volume is pretty loud. Hope it works for you!

Yes, that's what makes it so wonderful. DH can watch tv anytime at night he wants to, doesn't disturb me a bit. I have the tv on mute, but his headphones are always adjusted to suit his hearing needs. I can control the volume when I'm in the room and his adjustment remains the same. It has allowed him to not get hear aids as the tv was our biggest problem. He had the sound set at 90 on the tv and I just couldn't stand it that high. Now, we're happy as clams. Go for it.

Ahh, a fellow sufferer. But I'm afraid that's the only consolation I can offer. Not only is it likely these earmuffs will NOT completely block all the noise, there is a distinct possibility that you will get headaches if you try to wear them overnight. I speak from experience. I have lived over twenty years in residential hotels, and the very worst thing about life in them is the noise from TV and music. Nevertheless, I presently wear these earmuffs, and the headaches have diminished with use. So there is genuine hope that you may eventually be able to sleep with them. I do so every night. And they are the closest to being soundproof of any earmuffs I have tried. They are better than Peltor's preceding iteration, the 3M Peltor H10A Optime 105. And they are better than Howard Leight's Bilsom 1010970 Thunder T3 NRR30. But there's no such thing as earmuffs that completely block out all sound. Unfortunately.

About al you can do is call the company..(good luck with that) sometime they will exchange them for a fee. We never had good luck with tv ears. they break very easy !

They will only get as loud as the device you are listening to. I can plug them in my laptop, turn volume way up and hear clear without them in my head. The sound quality is fairly decent also.

My husband has significant hearing loss and wears hearing aids but still struggled with telephone calls. These headphones were a lifesaver, he hears clearly and completely now. The clarity is such that I have to turn volume way down if I answer his phone for him. Don't know if this helps....hope so :)

IMO NO not at all. I have these and I love them for watching TV and music but if you just want to block out surrounding noise, these will not work. I'm very noise sensitive :(

If you are alone, you can listen with your. Earphones with the TV on mute. If there are other people that would also like to listen, then just turn up the volume like normal and they can listen like normal. You do not have to make any changes. The volume of the earphones is independent of that of the TV. The quality of the sound with the earphones is unbelievable.

I wear a hearing aid, but when I use the headphones I don't. When my Sony TV is muted I can still hear it through the headphones, they have their own volume control. The only con is that the ear ushions don't last long.

Diane, these will be great for tv. You will hear sounds you never heard from the tv speakers. You may also want to consider a good quality sound bar with sub woofer. I have one and it is fantastic.

They will help but they are more tuned for music. Let in a lot of sound but cut down on the harsh frequencies. I would suggest getting regular foam earplugs for that.

TV ears are great. The only contrary remark is if you should break the metal band between the ear pods. Do not expect them to replace or repair. I sent a pair to their address in So Cal along with the broken ear pods/band with my approval to repair or replace with my credit card number. They NEVER responded in any form... Other than that they are worth the cost. Thank you for asking. DP

I use them for TV sometimes...my TV audio is connected to my surround sound amp, which has a headphone jack. I don't get "surround sound" through the headphones, but I do get wonderful, rich stereo at a nice volume without disturbing family or neighbors. The long cord allows me to sit on my couch while watching. So, yes, they do.

I can't hear anything besides what is coming through the headphones. My husband looks like he's hailing a taxi when he tries to get my attention. I never here him or the television. Of course, the lower the volume the more noise gets through.

If the TV is in a different room than the bedroom AND you have a headphone jack on the TV AND get a headphone extension cord, I would say, yes. If the TV is IN the bedroom, I'd say no, as these are not closed up, sound isolating earphones.

I put them on and had my husband speak quietly to me. Heard him fine. So, no noise blocking. Ear plugs will probably be your best bet.

Does your TV have a headphone jack? They are great headphones with a really long cable so I would imagine they work well but don't have any personal experience in that setting.
