What can I do to get wireless headphones to work on my tv?

My daughter wanted wireless headphones to listen to her tv without creating noise for the rest of the family. I bought her some, but there are no audio output jacks (only input) or headphone jacks on my tvs. How can I solve the problem without buying a special tv?

How is the television signal transmitted to the TV? There may be audio outputs on your cable box, DVR, DVD, etc., that you can use, and just mute the TV. If you are pulling a signal directly from a cable (with no converter) and your TV truly has no outputs, you may need a new TV, but you certainly don’t need a ’special’ TV — every TV I’ve owned in the last 15 years has had audio outputs.
