Listening to the Radio and TV

Music, sound effects, and the fast pacing of TV can make watching the tube with hearing instruments a bit of a challenge. Depending on the fidelity and sophistication of your TV’s sound system, sit 8 to 10 feet in front of the screen with the volume set to a normal, comfortable level for others. Then adjust your distance from the TV set and/or the volume level on your hearing instruments to find your own comfort zone.

Optimal radio listening often depends on the environment, and whether you’re listening to an AM or FM station. It will likely be more difficult to understand an AM signal in the car compared to an FM signal in the quieter environment of your home sound system.
