Has one of you tried headphones?

Or you could try yelling in his good ear! sorry that was not nice.....

Ask him to get a hearing aid. Have him visit an audiologist and get himself tested. Also he might agree to wear headphones when you're around. I've also heard of a kind of aid that doesn't need a doctor's prescrip -- it costs around $30 and is from a catalog; I assume these kinds are available on the Internet. How well they work I dunno but am considering buying a pair since I no longer have insurance and need one for my right ear as well as my left. Have a regular hearing aid for my left ear.

I think they make wireless headphones for just such situations.

Wasn't there something advertised on tv for this exact same problem? I think it was a personal volume control thing with headphones or something...

Have you tried headphones for you or your husband , headphones for the television people hearing impaired

The reverse is true with my wife and me. She loves the volume loud (her dad is hearing impaired and she grew up with the volume too loud) and it drives me out the room (it makes my tinnitus worse). I usually watch the same TV from the back of the room while she is it up close to the TV. Second often is that we put the volume on normal and turn on the captioning. I actually prefer the captioning as we have young boys (pictured) and I hope it encourages them to read more. You can try to buy him head phones (my wife never used them much), or you wearing ear plugs (I still do when I need to concentrate or she insists to keep the volume up for that program/movie), but the best solution for us has been turning on the captioning for the hearing impaired part and let them read what is going on. Good luck

What about getting subtitles on your tv? Would that be worse? I feel for you - my mum is the same. She has 50% hearing loss and also has it up so loud. I don't live with her though. Could you work out an arrangement with the hours that he watches tv and you use your computer?

Headphones? Buy a laptop? Get a hearing aid? Rearrange the living room?

get headphones for either the TV or your computer
invest in a hearing aid
or...i saw some cool little gadget on tv yesterday that is a sound enhancer. comes w/ head phones etc...

It may be possible to get headphones for the TV. Or, to put remote speakers for the TV closer to where he sits, so they wouldn't have to be set so loud.

I saw a thing on TV recently for exactly this.

Get him hearing amplifier

Thanks all. I thought headphones for TVs were only for specific TVs. They are universal?

Headphones.

I'm assuming you're currently using the TV's internal speaker. If so, you need to have a TV with a headphone jack that cuts off that internal speaker. I think that's pretty common but if it doesn't have one, it's really not all that difficult to wire one in if you know how to do electronic soldering.

They make make a specific device that amplifies sounds. It's a small hearing aid like device. From what I saw on the tv advertisement, you can listen in on other peoples conversations crystal clear across a crowded room.

have the husband use headphones, problem solved.

Have you spoken to him about it? Is it possible for him to listen to it a little more softly? If not, is it possible for him to get a hearing aid?

Have him use cordless headphones, or get a hearing aid for that ear which boosts the frequency areas which are giving him difficulty.

You can get a device of some sort for him or he can sit closer.

Get a tv for the back room and hide the remote for the tv in the living room.

>> get a hearing aid
>> put your TV outside
>> get earphones (some TVs have a port for them)
>> put the speakers closer to his ears

I am not feeling very creative today.

A hearing aid may help him. Has he had his hearing checked? Otherwise, how about a set of earphones when he's watching the tube? 'Course you may have to use sign language to get his attention.

Get him one of those little gadgets that help him hear better "without disturbing your partner." Just like that infomercial says.

Get a set of wireless headphones. My dad has some.

Interestingly, my old man is deaf in one ear as well. He's always bitching because I listen to the TV too loud. I can hear in both ears, but sounds blend, voices sound like they mumble.

I prefer captioning too. The people I watch TV with disagree.

I'll try to remember to look for those headphones.

why don't you get him the wireless headphones made just for this reason

Yup, same boat here too

Get him some headphones.

Wireless headphones for tvs. I bought my mom a pair made by Sony, but that was quite a while ago and her hearing has gotten worse. She uses closed captioning now, she has tried different kinds of hearing aides( within her price range) and she hears noise and cant tell what the noise is, and hard to understand what people are saying.
