I
I bought a $40 good quality transmitter/receiver from Amazon, but the latency was terrible since the hearing aids do not have the aptx codec.
My audiologist told me about the Phonak TV Connector.
I did a Google search and picked a company who had a rep directly available without a phone maze or wait time, Omnihearing.com.
It included both a 3.5mm and an optical cable for the signal input, which is all that I have needed.
It paired immediately with my hearing aids with very clear sound, and no interference.
The latency was very minimal with only a very slight echo effect, and was not a problem at all, either at home with the TV or in church with the PA system.
The range was quite adequate in the house and in the high school gym where our church services are held in spite of a fabric curtain in the middle of the gym, and it was not a problem, even at 50'.
I used the monitor port on the FM transmitter from the PA system.
You can mute the signal with the button on the hearing aid that changes the program, but these are hard to use and require you to cycle through all programs to return to the TV connector signal.
The top of the volume adjustment window in the EasyLine app and the myPhonak app shows all the programs including the TV Connector.
By touching the adjacent program in this series, the TV signal is instantly muted and you can return to it directly by touching the TV Connector program button.
