Help with Roku remotes and accessories, including pairing a remote, setting up TV power & volume control, using voice commands, power adapters, cables, headphones, and wireless speaker accessories.
Ideally I'd like to disable anything to conserve battery power and keep things as simple as I can for my mother. I'd like to disable any voice/mic features as well. I want to simplify and streamline, and conserve as much as possible.
She does use earbuds quite a bit so we're realistic about this with the battery usage. Any "excessive fat" that I can trim I'd like to if possible. 
She's had some other issues show up on her previous Roku Ultra's remote that I thought were suspect and went well past the "normal for her" battery consumption rate so I'd like to see if I can reduce the chances of repeat problems. Thanks all.

Does she have a smartphone? If so, get rid of the fancy ultra remote, get a regular infrared roku remote, and install the Roku app on her phone. She can use private listening on the phone, with earphones.
No smartphone but in about a month she's going to have a few changes in her setup that will allow me to expand her wireless headphone concept. Once I can get her earbuds off that Roku remote... you already answered the next question I might have asked: I'll put her on that standard infared one and take those wild cards off the table. Good deal.
