Connecting more than one headphones to the roku ultra

I'm trying to connect more than one headphones to be able to watch with my mother who's hard of hearing. We have the ultra and shes able to use her headphones but when I try to connect it will cancel her listening out. I have tried through our TV but also will cancel her out when I connect via Bluetooth. I'm not sure if roku has that availability yet if not please make and update about this..any help appreciated

One of the previous Roku OS updates disabled the ability for multiple users to listen via Private Listening.  Likely for perceived security/isolation so not sure if it will be enabled again.

You can look into purchasing an additional bluetooth audio transmitter.  These connect to the TV and then multiple headphones/earbuds. etc pair to the transmitter via Bluetooth.  

Here is an example link to Avantree.

There are a few different manufacturers for the above transmitters.  I just remember Avantree being compatible for users with hearing aids.  At least a good starting point for you to research if fits your needs.
