Hello,
Your television does not have a headphone (analog) output; the only audio output present is a digital optical output (Digital audio Out) on the side of the TV (optical jack).

What are the specifications (Brand and model) of your headphones so that I can find a digital optical to headphone audio input converter?

Thank you
My headset is basic, no brand identified. If I understand correctly, I need to buy an optical to analog converter for the headset.

Another question.
I have a Phonak TV link that worked wirelessly before my visit to the audiologist. He reduced the TV input to my hearing aids by 5 decibels. When I got home, there was no sound from the TV. My hearing aids work well with the iPad.
I tried connecting the TV link directly with an optical cable, still nothing
I suspect that the TV option on my hearing aids is either not activated or too reduced.

When you say basic headset... should I understand that it connects via a 3.5mm jack

For the TVlink Phonak... you say: it worked wirelessly
Wirelessly on this TV?
The transmitter base must be connected either via analog jack, optical or coaxial.

I tried a direct connection to the TV link with an optical cable and still nothing
Did you remove the protective caps from the optical cables (adapter and cable)?
Did you correctly select the optical input on the Phonak?
There is likely a setting in the Sound or Audio menu of the TV to activate the optical output.
And there is generally an option in the Audio output format to select PCM
I can't find any information on these points in the English manual.

A small jack like for a connection with an iPhone or iPad

For my TV link the audiologist doesn’t understand, but it really worked

Who supplies the image to the TV? A TV box, a decoder, or just an antenna?

I think it's a decoder
My provider is Videotron and the service is called Helix

Is it this device ====>
if yes, it has no audio output... it cannot therefore be used to connect the headphones...

Where was your Phonak base connected??? before?

If we need to be able to connect two devices (headphones and Phonak) to the optical output of the television, we need a Digital to Analog Optical converter of this type
- If the headphones do not have a volume control, a model with volume control

- Otherwise a model without volume control
