Hello all, my dad is hard of hearing and uses headphones to listen while watching tv. MY question is, I know he can listen to Apple TV with his AirPods, but is there a way that he can listen with his AirPods (he uses noise canceling so he won’t hear the background noise) and the rest of the family use the tvs speakers to watch tv? We love to watch as a family, but it’s hard for him because he can’t hear dialogue.
Assuming the tv has optical out, you could buy an optical splitter and an external Bluetooth transmitter. One goes to the soundbar and the other to the Bluetooth transmitter. Then any Bluetooth headphones would work.
This is what I do, works great.
This works I’ve done this for a grandfather from audio out split to a soundbar and also a steinheiser wireless headphone setup uses RF not Bluetooth less lag. It comes with its own charging base and volume wheel on the base worked great as he could even take his hearing aids out and use it
That’s exactly what I had to do for my father. Only solution that allows the sounds out of the tv at the same time.
