Some TVs have audio out connections that don't kill the speakers. This allows T-loop hardware to be connected for hearing aid use, and also wireless headphones.
If Roku made hardware that supported attaching speakers/ear buds via Bluetooth it would address multiple uses, especially if the HDMI volume could be set independently from Bluetooth in software.
Have found the Roku Mobile App for iphone. It allows private (volume controllable) listening that streams tv directy (through phone) to my hearing aids.
Other listeners must use it (on separate phone) but it gives individual controls.
Partner phone does NOT have to have earbuds/headset---just gets it from phone speaker.
Hope this info might help others.
