TV Ears is a device that connects a transmitter to your TV audio output and wirelessly sends the audio to a headphone-like device you wear. It allows you to move around a limited area and hear the audio portion of the TV show. My mom got two pair, one for the living room and one for her bedroom. Otherwise she had to play the TV so loud she couldn't hear the doorbell or phone.

We had some trouble with the device initially, but the company took care of it.

I understand the OP's displeasure with the customer service and products he bought. But I wonder if threads such as this one could be re-titled to something like: Problem with TV Ears customer service. Or similar. It still alerts readers to a potential problem without the blanket statement to not buy/use a product or service. As seen in posts on other products/services, there is a second side to the story and others may not experience the same problem.
