[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My special needs child wouldn’t wear them as a youngster. He is more important than you. Get over yourself. [/quote]

No, he's really not, and nobody gives a damn about your special little snowflake.  Never has and never will.[/quote]

He wears headphones now. He's delightfully popular, too, as a high schooler.  No headphones was a short term phase.

I have a hidden disability, chronic daily migraines. A complication of this is tinnitus. Most of the time my pain levels are manageable, and you wouldn’t be able to guess at my condition. I do find moderate noise levels, around 78 dB painful on my bad days. When people bring their electronic devices into public it raises the din, causing voices and background music to go up in volume as well. A lot of us with headache, tinnitus, and hearing aids are spending less time in public because of noise. No, the world isn’t obligated to be silent, but all this extra noise does come at a cost. I’ve cut back on travel and restaurants, but I can’t avoid doctors’ offices and hair salons. So, yeah, silent kids’ games, phone calls taken outside, and music streamed through headphones make big quality of life differences to a lot of us. [/quote]
