Thank you all for your helpful replies.
Update;
Although I may end up with the dreadful directional hearing aids, I'm not ready for them, or earbuds yet and it's more to do with having 'things' in my ear than vanity.
I've used cordless headphones in the past when I had an insomniac phase; I think they were IR driven. They were uncomfortable when worn with the spectacles I need to see the telly.
Anyway, the son we have still living at home got involved and produced a dusty set of 3 speakers that used to be wired to his PC. It has a 3.5mm jack and needs a USB power supply, both of which were found on the side of the TV. In the experimental phase last night there seemed much more clarity in the speech, which was fine, but the music that accompanies nearly all speech in films and dramas nowadays seemed unnecessarily loud; not so fine.
I think we're on the right track with external speakers (thanks Mr Z).
