We have a similar problem; we are both suffering from a degree of hearing loss, 
they tell us it is something to do with advancing years!  
Accordingly purchase a Bose Solo system, not cheap, but it made a remarkable 
difference.  We now both get the dialog from mumbling Americans on TV shows and 
films and even Geordies are more or less intelligible!   
It was a real boon for us, though our sons when they visit complain of the the 
high sound level!  
Though this is not a direct solution to your stated split system need it worked 
for us!  
Best wishes
Severin
