[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve been at my parents house for half an hour. The TV is SO loud.  It is SO hot. Every light is on. My teenager and I are both in sensory overload already.

My dad keeps trying to join in the conversation but can’t hear us over the freaking loud football game he’s also watching.

We did ask him to turn it down and he did just a tiny bit. [/quote]

Your parents need hearing aids[/quote]

This used to drive me crazy when I went to visit my dad. Then I lost my hearing out of the blue. I had a new appreciation for how difficult life is with hearing loss and so much more compassion. It never in a million years occurred to me that it would happen in my 40s to someone with perfect hearing. I am fully deaf on one side and have loss on the other. Now I’m the one turning up the volume on the tv and DH can’t stand it. [b]I turn on closed captioning but DH cancels it because it blocks the picture.[/b] I have hearing aids and discovered they help in some situations but not all. I now reserve tv watching only for when I’m alone and can send the sound directly to my aids or use Bluetooth for headphones. But it means I can’t enjoy tv with my family. [/quote]

PP, your H is an ahole. I have a good friend with hearing loss and when she comes over to watch a movie we always turn the CC on. It doesn't block that much and you get used to it. It's really NBD and I can't believe your H will even complain about it. I am angry for you.[/quote]
