Speaker solution for hard of hearing dad

Folks,

Need to ask your help. My dad needs some solutionntomget a speaker next to his recliner that doesn't blow the ears out of the rest of us. It's a fresh start with new insignia led 1080p tv model ns42e480a13. We have a cable box from Motorola rng150n. We have no other audio setup, so we can start from scratch.

My goal is to have not a loud or technical audio system, but some solution that allows me to have a wireless speaker next to his seat which is 12 feet back from the tv.

What are your best ideas?

Bear in mind that we already tried " move closer!".

Thanks!

bfreedma,

Thanks, bro. It's a good idea, but he's too stubborn for headphones... let me check the ae wireless transmitter.

I checked out the audioengine w3s. It might work, but we'd need to get USB powered speakers as well. We already have a bluetooth portable speaker logitech S-00096. Does anyone know of a bookshelf system or receiver, etc that broadcasts bluetooth signal? I've only read about those that receive the signal from an ipad, etc. I'd like the receiver or soundbar to issue the bluetooth signal and then use the system's speakers, PLUS the small bluetooth speaker next to his chair. Any ideas?

Thanks Arnyk,

The mini-jack seems like the way to go. I had checked the dongle earlier and seems it will not work as it would need to install drivers, etc onto the TV OS, and the TV's operating system supposedly would not accept. I'll keep you guys posted!
