TV Headphone solution for Elderly mother?

fourmations

hi all

looking for a bit of advice please....

so my moms hearing isn't great and i set her up with
sony wireless headphones for her (non-bluetooth, non-smart) TV
but they are very big and bulky and digging her glasses into her head,

I dont know a whole lot about the tech thats out there nowadays
but i see there are bluetooth recievers available,
the TV has a mini jack out that the current headphones are in
is that the way to go?

i'd say an in-ear pod might suit her or a light over-ear,
the other thing is that i dont want touch controls on the phones/buds
that would confuse the hell out of her I'm sure,
she would be used to contolling the volume with the TV remote
and pausing the tv if she wants

Any advice welcome, (she doesnt need high end audio)
so a solution on a reasonable budget would be great

many thanks!

If it was me I'd get something like this

https://www.amazon.co.uk/TROND-Bluetooth-Transmitter-Receiver-Simultaneously/dp/B01B4W40VC/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=bluetooth+transmitter+powered&qid=1604424243&sr=8-4

They just plug into the 3.5mm jack on your TV.
And have them plugged in all the time so she doesn't need to disconnect it to charge.

Then something like this.

I've a set of earphones like the one in the second link. You can use one or both and they connect up automatically when turned on. The only button I use on them is to turn them on or off and use the volume control on my phone.
And they just start charging automatically when you pop them back in the box.

I'm not sure if that 100% does what you want but it's a start.

thats great, thanks!!

not sure the phones will work for her as they are touch control and that will confuse her
but im sure i'll find a more basic pair,

cheers

Over ear will dig into her glasses, ON ears should be ok though.


If it's plausible in the room in question I'd go cabled all the way, keep charging out of it. Smaller on ear headphones, cheapo ones will be fine, and a long 3.5mm extender run discreetly.
