As already pointed out, Oticon is a top-line manufacturer and has several options for using streaming and TV adaptors. One of the references went directly to an Oticon page that described them.

The larger problem, I think, is the quality of the audiologist. If they just sold you an expensive set of hearing aids, and then didn't work toward the totality of the hearing loss problems, they are definitely not doing their job. FIND ANOTHER audiologist! (keep reading)

Dr. Cliff Olson is an audiologist who has a YouTube channel that helps educate people about the hearing aid industry. One of his main topics is that of BEST PRACTICES. Watch a 6 minute video to see what he means. He has a long list of what good audiologists should do, and maintains a list of audiologists who actually offer the services that comply with the best practices he recommends.

One of those audiologists is right here in The Villages, Dr. Al Turri, who practices at the Brownwood Ctr for Advanced Healthcare. He listens to his customers and does everything within his capability to solve their problems. He is also prescribes and favors Oticon devices. Even though he has a preference for Oticon, I had a specific reason for wanting Phonak devices and Dr. Turri listened to why I wanted them and did a superb job of making them work very well. I'm sure the could help with your husband's Oticons. Best practices are the key, and the practices are actually more important than the brand.

If it truly the case that your husband's audiologist didn't get into streaming options and TV listening options, please consider changing to Dr. Turri.

I agree, my audiologist described all options and showed me how to use them.
