The Kirkland Signature 9 hearing aids have 3 settings for the TV Connector–I suspect the Marvels do as well:
-
Autosence, which will automatically connect anytime the TV connector signal is detected.
-
Notify, which provides a beep when the TV connector signal is detected. You then have to manually select the signal with your hearing aid.
-
Manual, which doesn’t do anything until you manually select the signal.
Your audiologist can select these program settings. I am now using the manual setting, which I prefer. If you use the auto setting and then walk away, once you are beyond about 30 feet you’ll lose the signal, and then reconnect when you get close again. That sounds like a nice feature, and I guess it is. However, if you aren’t the one watching the TV show, it can drive you a bit crazy. For example, I was working in the yard the other day and every time I get near the area of my home where the TV was installed, it would connect (briefly).
