Can others watch TV at a normal volume level?
The volume of TV Ears works independently from the volume of the television set. Family members can set the TV volume at any level (loud, low, and muted) while TV Ears user(s) can listen at their own comfortable level. However , when using audio outs and the option to choose between fixed or variable on audio out ports is not available on your TV, volume on both headset and TV will go up the same. This is also true if you are using the power microphone.
The volume of TV Ears works independently from the volume of the television set. Family members can set the television volume at any level (loud, low, or muted) while TV Ears user(s) can listen at their own comfortable level. Most television sets have a menu option of Fixed/Variable or FIX/VAR. Set the television to fixed if you want the headset volume to work independently from the television volume. If the system is installed using audio out ports and the option to choose between fixed or variable is not available on your television, the volume on both the headset and the television will be the same, meaning, if you increase the volume on the television, the volume on the headset will increase. This observation is also true if the system is installed using the power microphone instead of audio out ports.
