but headphones aren’t the solution they use to be.Not true. There’s air conduction, bone conduction(which is the same technology for people who actually do experience hearing loss), wired, non wired, in ear, over ear, on ear, noise cancelling and these are not that expensive that you can get it online so it’s super accessible.
It’s not the early 2000s anymore where you only get buds or on ear or whatever apple bullshit comes with your phone.
Agreed, though sadly this doesn't apply to me. Hearing issues doesn't always mean hearing loss. I have Auditory Processing Disorder or Auditory Dyslexia means my hearing is good, but I don't always understand what people are saying.
Speaker phone makes it easier for me to understand what the other person is saying. But again its a dick move to use it in public.
Is it the Dichotic listening part? Airpod Pros might do wonders.
I have noise cancelling Sony earbuds for a while now. At this point I've just gotten use to how people talk, and guessing at what they said and I missed.
Is that what it's called when other noise makes you not understand what people are saying?
Pretty much. The inability to filter voices from other noises. Not fun when you are on a bus and the engine is the only thing you can make out
And why I avoid noisy bars and stuff. I noticed once during the fire drill at work, we were all standing outside and the loud alarm was beeping like a truck backing up and the whole time I couldn't make out what people were saying. I could hear the noises coming from their mouths, but couldn't understand a thing.
Alarm stopped and I could understand them fine.
What happened when you tried the bone conducting type? What we’re your findings with this one?
I didn't try those yet. I presume it wouldn't be helpful since I need noise isolation and blocking. Not sure if they do that
People don't have their headphones turned on and in easy reach at all times. If you're doing this in a private space, who cares?
I don’t. I’m responding to the argument that headphones are not what they used to be. that is incorrect. There is more selection and varying types should one be selecting a pair.
