TV sound in room and to Telecoil-equipped hearing aids

[marvonw]

I want to have sound simultaneously in the room and to my Telecoil-equipped hearing aids from antenna tv and from streamed Netflix and DVDs.

For network TV, I use sound provided by the TV, which does not have audio out ports. I use the microphone under the TV speakers for my Telecoil. Ok, but not the best, as the microphone picks up other sound from the room.

Streamed Netflix and dvd's are run off my LG Blue Ray player. For that, I run sound through my 6 ohm stereo speakers. I can’t use my Seimens 840S Telecoil for my hearing aids and have the speakers on at the same time because my receiver requires 8 to 16 ohm speakers for A & B to work at the same time.

Any suggestions on how to accomplish what I want?

For Netflix and DVD you can add a non inductive resistor in series with the speakers and/or the Telecoil so that the combined impedance will be above 8 ohms. The resistor goes in series with the positive speaker wire.
For OVA TV you could modify the TV to provide a line level out that would connect to your HTS or to reject room noise you can make the microphone more directional by covering part of the area which picks up the sound with tape or foam.
