There are devices available from places like the social services (usually free) and/or the RNID (usually cost you) which are amplifier boxes.

They plug into your headphones socket on any device, and then you plug the headphones into them, and they do a great job of amplifying sound.

If you do have a hearing impairment, you should ask your local social services office for an assessment and they will come and fit your house up will all sorts of devices and they'll do it for free. My brother even has smoke alarms which setof a vibrating pad under his pillow so that if there is a fire when he is asleep, he will be woken up by the smoke alarms.
