Hearing accessory - TV function

Line Item Description

This NDIS support item, 'Hearing accessory - TV function' or 'TV Device for Hearing Assistance' (Line Item: 05_220627232_0122_1_2), is funded under the Assistive Technology (Capital) support category.

The support item covers devices and systems that improve a participant's ability to hear and engage with television and other media audio.

Key features of a TV Device for Hearing Assistance:

Function: This accessory, often referred to as a TV streamer or adapter, is a system for delivering sound directly from the television (or other audio sources) to the participant's ear. The device typically connects to the TV's audio output and wirelessly transmits the signal directly to compatible hearing aids, sound processors, or specialised headsets.


Purpose: The technology's primary goal is to ensure the audio is clear and synchronised, which helps to eliminate the distraction of background noise and reduce the need for excessively high volume levels on the main TV.

Benefit: By receiving clear, direct audio, participants gain increased enjoyment and engagement with television and media. This aids in social inclusion, allowing for shared viewing experiences with family and friends without disrupting others with loud volumes, thus supporting independent living.

This is typically listed as an 'Each' unit of measure item and is generally not subject to mandatory quoting requirements.
