I like to carry an air horn for when scammers and other nuisances call.

How often do you have to go get the mics on your phone replaced?

Dang! Some decent hardware then! How bout your own hearing? Getting tinnitus yet? What level of hearing protection are you using?

I'm an old Army veteran, I've had tinnitus for years. I'm using a Pixel.

Sorry, pardon?

Never even fiddled around with someone else's Pixel, how do you like it?
Clearly it deals with being blasted by an air horn 3-15+ times a day, other than robust mics how is the build quality?

I'm using GrapheneOS, so I can't speak for the stock spyware that Google puts in. I'm sure that's horrible.

It's good quality hardware for sure.
