Streaming audio to hearing aids

[watton+Warrior]

I am a hearing aid user, and use the earphone socket to plug my streamer into. I can see no reference to a headphone socket in any of the info I have read. Can anybody shed any light please?

Sadly Sky's commitment to accessibility doesn't extend to a headphone socket on the Glass TV. You'd need to look at equipment that can use either HDMI or Bluetooth - although don't even know if the Glass TV can do audio over Bluetooth.

That's a really good point: I haven't spotted any reference to Glass as a Bluetooth source, and from a Glass TV I don't know if extraction of audio from HDMI to Bluetooth transmitter would work without another device at the end of the chain.

Think it's something I would need to ask Sky, otherwise it will be a no no from me.😒

I too have used a TV adapter with my hearing aid to get adequate sound quality. With my newly acquired SKY Glass I was shocked to find no headphone socket. Audio out is possible through the HDMI (ARC)  port but using it will turn off the TV speakers which my wife relies on. There is no Bluetooth audio out so I am contemplating using a lapel microphone attached to the TV and a miniature amplifier to provide audio to my TV adapter. Any suggestions as to which amplifier/mic  combination to provide audio levels which would normally be available in a 3.5mm headphone output socket?
