ITT a bunch of fucking losers claiming to have hearing problems and would rather be a dick in public than invest in proper headphones.
Note on the claim part, I don't believe a fraction of the assholes here, just trying to justify their assholery. People with legitimate hearing issues tend to accept the support technology that's readily available these days. I spend quite a bit of time around folks who are actually hard of hearing.
Add to that the amount of headphones out there that do help with various ear issues is growing and the prices are not that heavy.
They have bone conduction ear phones now that can be picked up online. Your skull can hear for you now. This is the same technology as what hearing aids use and you can just wire it up as headphones to your phone now
Yo, that's dope. As someone who is partially deaf, but mostly hears fine, I'm curious about this.
I was just reading about these yesterday. They basically bypass your eardrum so they're really good for people with hearing loss who still want to use headphones. Definitely check them out if you think they'll work for you.
