We got a sound bar which moves the sound to the front of the tv instead of coming out the back speakers as it is with most TV's. That worked well, but recently, hubby started working from home a few days of the week, and the tv is near his "work" station. So we bought an adapter that makes the tv Bluetooth enabled and I bought a really cheap pair of Bluetooth headphones, about $15. Best. Solution. Ever. I don't need the volume really loud, it's just that it's right in my ears so I'm not distracted. There is a volume control easily accessible and if there is music, I can turn it down, and then turn it back up for the dialogue.
I record the show and watch it the next day, and I can't use CC on my recorded show. We also record Vera, and that show has accents I'm not used to hearing, so I use the headphones to help me concentrate. Even my husband uses the headphones for Vera and a few other UK shows.
I really recommend this. The volume of the dialogue has been a complaint on this board since season one--it's not going to get better.

No, David. No one is happy in a poodle skirt and a sweater set.
