I really don't want to listen to 2 guys yelling at each other about sports first thing in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-prefer-media-to-be-played-extremely-loudly#post-554322 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 15:35:57 +0000 MrsH 554322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes!! I constantly ask him to turn it down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-prefer-media-to-be-played-extremely-loudly#post-554180 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 14:34:48 +0000 Dandelion 554180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes...he likes the tv louder and he listens to music loud in the car. He even talks loud when he gets excited, lol. He has a tiny bit of hearing loss, though, so I'm sure that contributes to all of it. DS has learned to fall asleep fine, despite dh talking loudly in the evenings, lol. It'll be better for ds once we move into a bigger house, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-prefer-media-to-be-played-extremely-loudly#post-554163 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 14:27:20 +0000 LuLu Mom 554163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He actually complains to me that I have the TV too loud! I don't do it on purpose, but if there is outside noise I have a very hard time hearing the TV. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-prefer-media-to-be-played-extremely-loudly#post-554147 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 14:20:01 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 554147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, no actually I'm the one who prefers things louder, but my mom has hearing issues (she had a lot of infections growing up and had something like 6 surgeries on each ear when she was a kid) so I grew up with everything really loud. Now when I go to my parents house and the tv is on, its like you're at the movie theater its so loud! So, I guess I've become accustomed to less loud tv. I still blast the radio in my car though :) I like music a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-prefer-media-to-be-played-extremely-loudly#post-554146 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 14:19:25 +0000 MediaNaranja 554146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes, he loves music, and apparently the only acceptable volume is LOUD. And since we live in a 1BR there is no way to escape. I tell him that he can listen at whatever volume when I'm not there, but when I'm home it has to be quiet enough that we can have a normal conversation without yelling. Still though, what is the deal with that?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-prefer-media-to-be-played-extremely-loudly#post-554135 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 14:15:28 +0000 avivoca 554135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! It bugs me so much! When he picks me up from work, I can hear the music outside of our car. I prefer to keep the music low so I can hear my surroundings and not have to shout. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-prefer-media-to-be-played-extremely-loudly#post-543899 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 11:13:31 +0000 loveisstrange 543899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES. It drives me nuts. I love when we put her down and he's watching TV or playing guitar on ear-splitting volume and then wonders why she wont fall asleep. Really? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-prefer-media-to-be-played-extremely-loudly#post-543881 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 11:07:07 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 543881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ifs it's a game: the speakers are booming!!! Since LO looooves it, I can't use him as an excuse except if he's asleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-prefer-media-to-be-played-extremely-loudly#post-543866 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 11:00:16 +0000 Alivoo01 543866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG! The TV is always blaring and I have to remind the hubby to turn it down because I feel like it's yelling at me. Like normal volume is 14. He listens to it at 24 or more! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-prefer-media-to-be-played-extremely-loudly#post-543837 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 10:48:32 +0000 lomom 543837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omg yes. At least the tv. It's awful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-prefer-media-to-be-played-extremely-loudly#post-543833 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 10:47:32 +0000 lovehoneybee 543833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only when he's playing video games on the computer. I'm constantly asking him to turn it down because I can hear it through the monitor in the nursery (as in the monitor in the nursery is picking it up--loudly). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-prefer-media-to-be-played-extremely-loudly#post-543823 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 10:43:50 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 543823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: morning edition was shrieking! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-prefer-media-to-be-played-extremely-loudly#post-543536 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 09:41:22 +0000 Honeybee 543536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: DH listens to NPR SO loud in the car! I just don't understand why he needs it turned up so high. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-prefer-media-to-be-played-extremely-loudly#post-543189 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 08:02:45 +0000 heffalump 543189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, we've always lived in a quiet house. My parents house on the other hand..... My dad is deaf and never wears his hearing aid. I can't sit in the room and watch tv with him or I get a headache :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-prefer-media-to-be-played-extremely-loudly#post-542815 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 23:28:16 +0000 mynoahbear 542815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes....I'm always asking him to turn it down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-prefer-media-to-be-played-extremely-loudly#post-542688 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 22:50:38 +0000 Reese 542688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: Me too! DH always jumps when we get in my car because the radio is always blasting when I start it. Although, I swear it seems louder than I was listening to it prior :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-prefer-media-to-be-played-extremely-loudly#post-542633 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 22:36:01 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 542633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My g-d! What is it about playing things loud. I got in the car this morning and almost died at how loudly NPR was yelling at me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-prefer-media-to-be-played-extremely-loudly#post-542574 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 22:27:56 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 542574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES and it drives me INSANE. He listens to music through headphones all the time at work and home, so maybe he is going deaf. What bother's me most is that he keeps the volume up no matter what is going on...commercials, loud explosions, screeching etc. I constantly modify the sound, because I like it low. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-prefer-media-to-be-played-extremely-loudly#post-542567 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 22:26:50 +0000 shopaholic 542567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Lol! I was literally just telling him this in the car not even 5 min. ago... he'll need to learn to adjust the volume lower once baby arrives. I can hear his car radio when he pulls into the garage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-prefer-media-to-be-played-extremely-loudly#post-542555 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 22:25:07 +0000 prettylizy 542555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When he's driving alone he plays music crazy loud, but I think it's a part of his de-stressing on his way home from work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-prefer-media-to-be-played-extremely-loudly#post-542553 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 22:24:07 +0000 pui 542553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, actually. I am usually the one complaining that the TV/Radio is too quiet and he'll barely turn it up lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-prefer-media-to-be-played-extremely-loudly#post-542543 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 22:22:11 +0000 yin 542543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He likes extremely loud music but only plays it occasionally on the stereo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-prefer-media-to-be-played-extremely-loudly#post-542292 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 21:38:50 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 542292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. He has hearing loss so I've learned to accept it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-prefer-media-to-be-played-extremely-loudly#post-542284 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 21:38:03 +0000 oahujeni 542284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! And from day 1 he has played music really loud in the house so DS would get used to noise and we wouldn't have the "shhh don't wake the baby" household. Now DS needs loud noise to fall asleep and I have to blast a cd in the car to get him to pass out when we are driving somewhere. Thanks, DH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-prefer-media-to-be-played-extremely-loudly#post-542186 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 21:27:05 +0000 chopsuey 542186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES. He used to listen to music SO LOUDLY.<br /> Now he can't :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-so-prefer-media-to-be-played-extremely-loudly#post-542174 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 21:25:34 +0000 DillonLion 542174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly, I'm so thankful to have a baby now because that means that DH can no longer blast the TV on what feels like full volume constantly anymore. He plays talk radio loud in the car also. My ears hurt! I think he needs to get his hearing checked LOL. </p>
