I'm confused. Most TVs have an "audio out" plug-in on the back of the TV, where you can plug in the hearing aids. The audio out can be either an optical connection or a 3.5 mm stereo connection or both. You can go to the TV settings options and select "external speakers" from the audio menu. This will send the sound to the hearing aids, but not to the TV speakers. I think this is pretty typical for most TVs.
Note that, if the hearing aids are bluetooth compatible, you can buy a bluetooth transmitter from Amazon for about $20 that will allow the audio out connection to serve as a bluetooth transmitter.
