i wont listen to her show, never liked her much and she isnt as quick or intelligent as the other presenters

 

[Monkey Harris]

Ok so I’m weird. I have no music. Just don’t ‘get’ it. Don’t even own a single cd!!! I listen to Radio 4 mainly. Apart from a bit of radio 2 here and there except when that **** vine is on!

Have you ever been to see a band..?

 

[James1979]

Nope! Well only the ones that play in pubs, but never gone to see them was going anyway.

Been to the carnival in Trinidad. It was alright. Loud though

Music in ear defenders is a no-no for me. Like cyclists, runners, walkers who insist on wearing headphones, and don't hear you coming!!

No difference to a deaf person, you don't know who can hear and who can't as you approach them, upto both parties to be careful

At least with a deaf person, their other senses tend to be heightened. In a hearing person, becoming immersed in music tends to lead to an anaesthesia to the world around them.

My sister is deaf, unless she can see you she is oblivious to you being there

I have one of these:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07CJ9PWSJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

plugs into my ex-works MSA Sordin ear defenders* and talks to my phone via Bluetooth. Makes and receives phone calls very well too as I found out by accident.

Usually, audiobooks downloaded for free from my local library. Or Radio 4, Radio 4 Extra 'live' or from the BBC Sounds archive. Sometimes podcasts. Never music.

Used when mowing, raking, strimming, hedge trimming, leaf blowing/sucking, path sweeping etc on my own in my own garden. All boring, repetitive and fairly mindless tasks but better exercise than paying for even more boring and mindless gym activities.

Only other time I would have anything playing through the ear defenders would be using an orbital sander for an equally mind-numbingly boring task. I don't have anything playing when using saws, grinders, drills or anything else that bites back

I'm not at all sure what my stance would be if this were a work situation. Fortunately:

1. None of that equipment would be intrinsically safe and suitable for use on-site.
2. I'm retired so it is now a SEP.

So I have no idea how long I have had them!

Edit: Sadly the television can receive Bluetooth but not transmit so I can't wear them whilst watching television.
