Eh. Speaking as someone who played keyboards next to drummers in bands one too many times, it actually isn’t worth it. Tinnitus, losing consonants, barely 40. UGH.
I worked in a bar with loud music. Even when I could get them to turn down the music there are always random sounds that get amplified. you know the squeals and ear piercing screeches when they are tuning up. I bought a pair of ear plugs that have a little ball inside. They let me hear people ordering drinks but if someone banged a pot next to me the balls would close and block the louder sound. I found them at a music supply store in S.F. about 30 yr ago. We rehung our speakers for the disco, it didn’t need to be so loud.the trick was to move the bass speakers back. it takes 30 ft for the sound wave to carry before it’s heard. We had a separate set of horns to carry the high notes and the mixing board let me control the sound profile. After I sold my bar I find the music in other bars is so loud it’s painful! I’m really sorry I had let mine go :/
YEAH I GET IT, EARBUDS, IF I LISTEN TO HIGH VOLUMES FOR TOO LONG I’LL DAMAGE MY EARS, BUT I DON’T NEED A NOTIFICATION TO POP UP ON MY SCREEN ABOUT IT EVERY TIME I TURN MY VOLUME UP.

Is it my imagination or is it much too quiet in here?

Totally worth it because now you don’t have to listen to people telling you that anymore since you can no longer hear them.

I like the “I love you” in sign language in the fourth panel.
