Both your TV and phone hooked to the same WiFi?
Shazamm like program for detection of TV audio.
If the phone is not moving (known by phone) the TV and your voice could be differentiable.
You're voice is within a certain range of Hz
Most important: it doesn't need to. Just the stuff you do on your phone is probably more than enough data
It’s not literally listening 24/7, people are insane if they think it’s doing that. And even if it were, just block all the ad, tracking domains and/or IP blocks and be done with it.
That asked about their phone SPYING on them. So I'm taking this at face value and assuming more than just targeted advertising.
Block all the IPs you want, you can't block a Stingray

Then you could also have mesh network built into devices inside your WiFi connecting to similar devices.
And my favorite for right now, and the thing I finished my last response with, your phone.
Your phone is most likely unique, between the device id, your carrier, location, other apps, contacts, operating system, etc. I personally assume most large websites could find you in minutes.
Mostly just listening for keywords that wake it up and send a small true-false keyword thing, I'd assume. Maybe stores it locally and sends out once/day or something? Could be as part of the check for updates process.
Rig it up to something to detect all target IP addresses is a good start.
