Do AirPods help in listening to TV? I often have problems with English accents and was wondering if the AirPods might make it easier to hear the dialogue.

Do you actually have hearing loss or is it just to boost clarity? I do not find hearing aids all that helpful for TV, just for large meetings, and I am not that impressed with some of the sound bars that I have tried.

Are you saying that the sound comes through very low or that you are able to keep the sound low on the TV. I don't have Apple TV, so not sure if I can use it, but there are hearing apps on my iPod Touch that will work with headphones, or in this case the airpods.

I have my AirPods paired with my Samsung TV, and I mainly use them at night for watching movies so that I can keep the volume at a satisfactory level for me, without disturbing anyone else in the house. The TV is in my bedroom. Although I don’t have a hearing problem, I sometimes have difficulty understanding British accents, especially when they talk very fast (i.e. watching “From Hell” a few weeks ago). The AirPods helped a lot. Dialogue was much clearer for me. Really enjoy them, and I’m considering getting the AirPods Pro.
