I’m depressed and I wanna listen to music… 🥲
Its just fearmongering right?
I don’t max the volume, just turn it high enough to hear it, if I used speakers, I’d also turn it so that my ears detect the “same volume” so I don’t get why headphones is worse? Literally the same volume.
Also privacy, I don’t want others to know what I’m listening, the fuck lol.
The issue is probably more that you don’t hear her when you are focused.
My husband is like that. Especially if he’s listening to something with headphones.
It’s not the volume (he’s not got them loud) it’s that he’s locked in. I’m the same way, except if you say my name and pause a beat, I snap out quicker.
I have to say his a couple times. Just starting to talk without a cue and the focus makes us miss the beginning, if not all.
Also happens with reading, programming, writing Which are immersive. quiet activities
Some people are just like that, regardless of headphones. My fiance gets like that to the point I have to nudge her to get her attention.
Yeah, for sure. My husband and I are both like this. Waving my arm often works for getting his attention.
But a frustrated parent could definitely blame it on headphones or think the kid is going deaf. Especially if they are not the kind of person that immerses like that.
Unless the parent can hear the headphone music themselves from a few feet away. In which case, they have a point that it might be too loud.
