“I use hearing aids and listen to TV through audio streaming device that connects to TV through optical out. My husband listens through surround sound speakers through receiver connected by HDMI to TV. Will this work on A80J at same time?”

I checked with Sony regarding this. Yes, it is supposed to work as long as you use the optical output on the TV to connect to the hearing aids. We purchased the Mee Audio Connect to make the Bluetooth connection to the hearing aids, but the tech was not able to get the Mee Audio device to pair with my wife's hearing aids. It was disappointing but we are getting by with closed captioning.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I use optic toslink connected from A80J to Smart transmitter 2.4 with my Rexton hearing aids - works perfectly.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi Steve, Thanks for your interest in the BRAVIA XR A80J. The TV cannot output sound from both an audio system connected via HDMI eARC/ARC and Optical function at the same time. By connecting your hearing aid to the TV headphone jack (3.5 mm stereo mini jack) and your Soundbar or Receiver to the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT port, it will output sound from both the hearing aid and a Soundbar or Receiver at the same time.
