Anyway to stop the Phonak TV Connector V2.0 being stereo?

Well my TV that is over 20 years has finally died. I can hear sound but no picture. The picture has been disappearing for few seconds over a number of years but now it’s permanent.

If I get a radio (FM/DAB) and it has 1 x channel, does that mean it’s not stereo despite using my TV Connector? It has a USB port so plan to power it from there.

I don’t need another TV.

The radio, if picking up FM or DAB, will normally give you a stereo output through the headphone socket. An AM or Shortwave station will be mono but will probably be on both channels too, just the same audio.
The same solution as suggested for your TV would work if you wanted to combine left and right etc.

I tend to listen to radio on my phone (Android) which would kill two birds with one stone for you: no need for any extra connector and you can set the audio up as you wish.

The issue with using my phone is the radio using data.

When I’m out, I’ll use my phone but would rather not use all the time especially at home.

My phone and TV are classed as having two channels where this FM/DAB is classed as having one channel so can’t move the channel to the right.

Have just found out that it has this tho.

MyEQ – Equaliser with 6 Presets and Independent Bass & Treble Control

Understood. My phone uses WiFi at home so I have no concern for the amount of data used.

I haven’t seen a radio since the 80’s that didn’t put out stereo on it’s headphone socket though, it might have one speaker but it will be putting out stereo on the headphone socket.

Moving the balance to the right will stop the radio sound in your left ear but will also drop all of the audio information carried in the left channel but not the right.

If you buy the two connectors suggested earlier in this topic put one in the radio and one in the TV connector V2 and then enable flight mode on your left hand HA, you would have everything that you want: both channels mixed together supplied to just your right HA.

The Select sends mono to my hearing aids. I think this also happens with Roger pens. I don’t know about the Roger mic that I think you have.

Roger On is now stereo.

UPDATE -

After my TV dying and with the Cost Of Living Crisis here in the UK.

I have decided to buy a DAB Radio as I’ve been using a family members DAB Radio for years.

I bought a DAB Radio that had Bluetooth, it’s stereo but can be set as mono and has a EQ Set Up for my own settings. It also has a USB socket so i can power my TV Connector.

I’ve put a headphone socket splitter thing and set up my Loop System as well.

As it has Bluetooth, i can listen to my Pod Casts via my iPhone and Radio going through to my Loop System. This is perfect if i have to wear my older Aids which don’t have Bluetooth.

It also looks way more modern then the one I’ve been using which is more then 20 years old.

TV Connector is great as i have put the setting so it’s slightly more to the left. It says -20, but have no clue what that means.

Anyway, I’m happy and the features are really good. Definitely don’t need or miss a TV.
