Deafness is no fun.
I've been hearing deficient from a young age.
Now I don't bother listening to much music because worsening hearing loss and tinnitus makes it sound like crap (buzzy).
If I wear ear buds, the nice phone tells me that I will damage my hearing if they're too loud and I can't turn it up enough to actually hear anything.
There's probably a setting for that but I haven't found it.

Having said all that, I'd rather have my wits about me and hear what I might hear, especially out and about.
Never understood people who have the plugs in on nature walks.
Let's drown out that terrible birdsong?


Have you ever tried bone-conduction headphones? I have hearing loss and tinnitus, and while they aren't exactly High-fidelity, they still sound a lot better than nothing.
