Subject :  Why wireless?
posted by ossett on Thu Jan 19, 2012 3:52 pm
I'm ready to replace an old, simple HA with something better, and am considering those with a wireless connection to the TV. However, I don't understand the purpose of the wireless connection. Is it (a) to listen to the TV at a volume level that would be too high for other (non-hearing-impaired) people in the room, or (b) to receive better sound quality, especially speech, than is delivered by the stereo speakers. I already run my TV audio through a very good amplifier and speaker system that delivers much better quality than the built-in TV speakers, but still often have trouble understanding speech. Turning up the volume does not help. Presumably a better HA will improve the processing of sound in the HA, but is there anything additional to be gained by transmitting sound by radio from the TV to the HA rather than acoustically from the stereo speakers to the HA?
