  • Even used with just a five-dollar pair of Panasonic headphones, the Sennheiser system worked great: clear, clean audio with no static and no dropouts--none at all

Reviews around clarity (5.00 of 5)

  • More to the point, as advertise, I can now listen to the TV at a sound level that provides superb clarity for me without annoying others in the room
  • UPDATE (December 2013): After nine months of use, everything works just as perfectly as it did on day one
  • The unit allows you to bump up the high frequency volume and to add compression which improves the clarity of speech.
  • The T-coil loop does not work for my dads model of hearing aids but he said the audio clarity was excellent with his ear buds and is very

Reviews around product (4.33 of 5)

  • Product did not work
  • With my approximate 90+% mid- and upper-frequency hearing loss I am definitely at the upper end of what the Sennheiser SET840-S is capable of doing for my hearing loss, but in fairness to this fine product I have to say that I believe the sound volume of my within-the-ear hearing aids is rather limited and that the far higher sound amplification provided by external behind-the-ear hearing aids would very likely overcome the limitation some might have with in-the-ear hearing aids.

Reviews around range (4.03 of 5)

  • UPDATE (December 2013): After nine months of use, everything works just as perfectly as it did on day one
  • And know that the "range" is sometimes unpredictable
  • The range covers my entire house and garage and is not obstructed by walls or doors
  • Excellent range all over the house with RF signal vs IF.5.
  • The system has a greater range of volume than anyone will ever need.

Reviews around system (3.86 of 5)

  • However, as long as the system continues to work so well with my own headphones, it will keep its five-star rating from me regardless of whether it ever works directly with my hearing aids
  • I certainly would recommend this system for just about anyone,particularly those with a hearing impairment.
  • My wife is loving this system because I no longer ask her to tell me what someone just said--never
  • These are not cheap systems
  • This is a remarkable system and very adaptable to different devices.

Reviews around device (3.75 of 5)

  • You might think this listening device is a bit expensive, but it just plain works great and is built to last
  • This device works well and enables me to use my own headphones to hear.
  • This device lets me appreciate TV and music at "realistic" levels, whereas my wife prefers it just above a whisper.
  • Not a cheap device, but I think we'll worth the cost.
  • The device retains a charge very well and has a good distance range, but the induction loop has to be positioned just so in order to work.

Reviews around hear loss (1.44 of 5)

  • Having severe hearing loss, i must have the TV volume very loud to hear most of the words spoken
  • With my approximate 90+% mid- and upper-frequency hearing loss I am definitely at the upper end of what the Sennheiser SET840-S is capable of doing for my hearing loss, but in fairness to this fine product I have to say that I believe the sound volume of my within-the-ear hearing aids is rather limited and that the far higher sound amplification provided by external behind-the-ear hearing aids would very likely overcome the limitation some might have with in-the-ear hearing aids.
  • I bought this for my husband who has a slight hearing loss
  • UPDATE (December 2013): After nine months of use, everything works just as perfectly as it did on day one
  • I now wear high-end within-the-ear hearing aids to correct a severe hearing loss and the Sennheiser SET840-S wireless system is designed to transmit a wireless radio signal from the sending unit connected to a TV, Home Theater System, or audio playback system directly to Telicoil equiped hearing aids.
