If this anonymous TV doesn't have this option, you have to cheat. Connect the headphone out to the aux in of an amplifier, and connect the headphone out of that amplifier to your headphone. But this only works in that half of the TV's that don't suppress their own sound when you connect a headphone. The other half of the TV's do that: no sound from the speakers when the headphone is in. Anyway, if you do it like this, it's a knock-out criterion when buying a TV.

I suffer from PTSD and traumatic brain injury and lost most of my hearing. Is there a way to have head phones turned up loud so I can listen to the tv while the rest of my family can listen to the normal sound. Close captioning is nice but you miss out on so much. Even with my hearing aides the tv has too be to loud for everyone else in order for me to slightly hear it. Thanks ahead for your input
