I've been tasked to set up something like what you see in bars or other noisy areas. Like Sounddog's setup, but smaller...wired might be acceptable.
I have a large room with 3 TVs and 12 seats used for long, six hour infusions. I want the person sitting in the chair to be able to control their personal audio for the TV of their choice. It might also prove that really I only need to give them audio to one TV if the other two aren't visible (area not built yet) What should I be looking at both wired and wireless to get audio from the tv to multiple chairs across the room?
Headphones.
Not a possibility. Headphones are not sanitary to share and you do not address how to use multiple wireless headphones with multiple tvs and switch them.

Really? Airlines do it all the time.

Goros and bluesky are right. If all these people are in the same room, there’s no way you’ll be able to isolate each person’s sound without headphones, especially if they are all in close proximity.
You need to consult with a company that specializes in audio for commercial or professional applications. Even if you intend to do the installation yourself, they could recommend and sell you a product that could fit your needs.

I have seen and used that type of setup for training sessions and headphones are indeed the only way to set this up and control the noise in the room. As far as the headphones go, you either get inexpensive headphones by the case and the people keep their own set, or you just make up washable cloth covers to go over the phones and change them out with new people. Personally, I would just tell the bosses that the cases of $3 or $4 headphones are part of the setup cost. Mr. Pflughaupt is absolutely correct, you are getting into a area of specialized equipment that will require some professional input, for the equipment sources at least. Many schools and conference rooms have this arrangement, at least for sound distribution....but it's commercial equipment
