For many, it’s the battle of the remote: how loud is too loud? What is a comfortable volume for some can be too quiet for people with hearing loss. But how do you choose the right option, and can Auracast help?
A new video from Hearing Matters Australia offers a very comprehensive look at all the options.
Brendan Lonergan is the president of the group that is dedicated to helping Australians with hearing loss. Based in the Australian Hearing Hub in Macquarie University, it aims to inform, support and guide not just those affected by hearing loss but their families, friends and communities at large.
Hosted by Brooke Hudd, the 21-minute video explores every possible way to connect hearing devices, including hearing aids, headphones, and earbuds, to televisions. Brendan covers the pros and cons of solutions and also offers practical advice and demonstrations.
He also covers price ranges, which are given in Australian dollars.
Among the topics are types of TV streamers, affordable options, watching together as a family, Auracast, closed captions (subtitles), different types of TV outputs, and how to pair devices with televisions.
It ends with a look at where people can go for further help and advice.
The entire video is captioned and divided into chapters, so people can quickly flip to the section they want advice on.
The video is based on Brendan’s article, How People with Hearing Loss Can Enjoy TV Again, in the Hearing Matters February/March 2026 edition. This can be read online: https://online.flippingbook.com/view/673224682/18/
