To connect Signia hearing aids to a TV, you'll generally need an additional device called a streamer, which Signia often refers to as a "TV transmitter" or "TV connector." Here's how to set it up:

1. Connect the Streamer to Your TV:

• Connect the appropriate cable from the TV's output to the streamer.
  
  

2. Power the Streamer: Plug the streamer into a power source using the provided adapter.

3. Pair the Streamer with Your Hearing Aids: Turn on your hearing aids and put them close to the streamer.
Depending on the model, you may need to activate pairing mode on the streamer by pressing a pairing button. Refer to the streamer's manual for specific instructions.

4. Select the Correct TV Audio Output: On your TV settings, ensure the correct audio output is selected, matching the port used to connect to the streamer.

5. Test the Connection: Play something on the TV to check if the sound is transmitting to your hearing aids. Adjust the volume as necessary.
