Don't you hate it when
you're in a noisy restaurant trying to visit with friends, and it seems like
you're the only one who can't hear what others are saying? Or how about when
you're watching a movie at home, and you have to continually ask "What
did they say?” If you know your hearing isn't what it should be, but aren't
ready to admit you have a hearing problem or still think your hearing loss is
manageable, there are alternatives to full blown hearing aids.
There are lots of gadgets and techniques out there to help you deal with your
hearing problem. Everything from amplified phones, vibrating alarm clocks, tv
listening devices, and yes, those ultra-expensive, go see a doctor and get
fitted, hearing aids are options for your struggles through a hearing problem.
When it comes to watching tv the choices have been few. If you've had difficulty
hearing your favorite show you either crank it up, turn on the closed
captioning, or buy a set of isolating headphones. However, there's a new kid
on the block now.
The Audio Fox is a never-before-seen design
of wireless TV speakers that was developed and patented by a retired business
man. He saw his mother suffer for years because his father would watch old
Lawrence Welk reruns and the Pro Rodeo circuit at ear splitting levels, often
forcing her out of the room.
The product is a wireless tv speakers system that does not require line of
sight. The speakers are tilted toward you to deliver targeted sound in digital
stereo, and are attached to vinyl coated steel straps that grip the back of
your chair or couch allowing you to position the sound as close as you want.
This new design allows you to get the volume boost you want and still hear
ambient noises such as conversation, a ringing phone, or a doorbell. At the
same time, others in the room can leave the television sound at a level
comfortable to them.
One speaker on the Audio Fox has a volume
control and mute button mounted directly into its housing which controls both
speakers on the wireless TV speaker system. It's capable of receiving any
audio signal transmitted from your television's audio out port, as well as
the signal from any iPod, Zune, or other electronic listening device, and its
receiver is located behind the chair, a safe distance away.
So if you're not ready for that audiology consultation, or ready to lay down
$1,500 or more for a set of hearing aids, at $249.95, the Audio Fox wireless
TV speakers might be just what you need.
If you're still watching Lawrence Welk, well, maybe you just need to get out
more.
