As someone who is hearing impaired, what are the first movies you want to try them out on?

With their full orchestras and lush dance routines, classic Hollywood musicals make sense because the music and melodies are a feast for the years. Yet modern films are also good choices because the digital sound is dynamic; no detail is left unenhanced by the magic of master sound technicians. 

We’ve included a mix of recent movies and old Hollywood movies in a Top 5 list of movies for hearing aid TV connectors. Get ready to hit play and enjoy.

5. 1917 (2019)

1917 is a popular modern movie about two World War I soldiers struggling to deliver a vital message to a colonel in time to cancel a planned raid that turned out to be a trap. 

The movie was nominated for a Best Sound Editing Oscar and drew crowds who loved it not only for its story, but also its powerful sound of warfare, machinery like planes, and battles. 

4. Singin’ in the Rain (1952)

This classic film made number 10 on the American Film Institute’s list of the top 100 movies of all time.

Set in the silent film era, Singin’ in the Rain is an American classic. Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds, and Donald O’Conner are at their very best. The dance routines are magical and the group vocals soar.

3. Gone With the Wind (1939)

Not only is this beautifully rendered motion picture about torrid romance amid the Civil War, but it also made superb use of sound. 

With a running time of four hours, it’s the perfect way to use your hearing aids with your TV connector to spend an entire evening enjoying its sound quality.

2. Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

Mad Max: Fury Road is an epic piece of filmmaking that won the Best Sound Editing Oscar for 2015.

It features exquisite sound, taking place almost exclusively on the road during an unhinged caravan frenzy of pimped-out motorcycles, and outfitted gigantic cars and mega busses.

The roaring vehicles, chase scenes, battles, and frenetic dialogue blend perfectly with the music to make this a modern classic.

1. Casablanca (1942)

Number two on AFI’s list of the top 100 movies of all time, Casablanca is known as one of the greatest movies of all time in large part due to its well-placed sound effects, sharp dialogue, and incidental music.

Casablanca has a story that will keep you mesmerized until the end, performances that stand the test of time, and an ambiance that together makes it the top movie for you to watch using your hearing aid TV connector.
