I have the Resound TV transmitter. It is easier to use than the bluetooth transmitter I used previously, and works better. It is a very robust connection (so yes I can go to the bathroom and still hear TV). If I have any problems understanding speech I turn it on because speech is more understandable with the TV transmitter and there are several shows I watch where I can’t understand certain actors. With the TV transmitter I can understand everything.
To activate I do a long press on the volume down of either hearing aid and it connects almost instantly. Long press on volume up goes back to the previous hearing aid program. So it is very easy and quick to start/stop.
The pro set mine to have the mics on when the transmitter is on, so I can still hear room sounds (I can hear the wife or others in the room) and the remote has the option of turning down the mics if you want.
I think it is $250 range and to me very worth it.
