Yes, essential to my hearing loss after meningitis which left me hard of hearing. This adapter is PERFECT: scart plugged on my 'old' VCR Philips who is 11, and the tip on my Sennheiser Headphone Jack (or Siemens, it is the same)! Now I hear perfectly without the sound of the TV is switched off, which does not disturb my partner. For the price, I do not regret a thing is not to have bought it earlier !! Since the change in our TV, so I plugged my Sennheiser headphones, the sound was muted. I have the same system for Canalsat decoder. I have only one regret: not having bought earlier, and thinking private documents / recorded movies interesting .... The social life of a hearing impaired is already so short .... The item was delivered within 3 days, very well protected in a bubble envelope. --------------------------- Amazon, I remain faithful, including and especially for my books: living in the country, I will never do AR 60 km to buy a book in bookstores in the city and look for a parking (extra charge of course) ... How much does a book in this case?
