Hard of hearing mum

    I need advice on speaker setup for my hard of hearing mum.

    My mum is not deaf by a long way but the problem is whenever I go round to the folks to visit she has the telly turned up really loud and it's drives me and others round the bend. To add to the problem their philips TV is one of the worst I've ever see picture wise and audio wise, such that when the volume is turned up it sounds awful.

    She sits in the same seat everyday and beside her is a mantelpiece where I tough would be a good place to put a speaker.

    Because others watch the TV too I need a setup where the telly still outputs through it's own speakers and have it output to an additional speaker.

    Anyone have any idea how to achieve this bearing in mind it's a really basic TV. Ta.

    Would she not consider hearing aids.
    My mother was the same. She was adamant she didn't need them until she got them.
    She had the TV so low I couldn't hear it in the end :)

    No, she has no problem hearing conversationally so getting a hearing aid just for the telly is not something she would do.

    I'd suggest one of two things:
    1. a new telly with better sound... I'm sure she's trying to hear it better by turning up the sound, but better sound would be better than loud sound
    2. surround sound... a fuller more natural audio environment...
