Nah my hearing is fine actually, no issues whatsoever as far as I'm aware and I'm 19

Zoomers man, I know a lot of people who wore an earbud any chance they got all through school and then now at work if they can get away with it. When people work out they do, when people just chill at at home they do. It's constant some days it feels like.

My main reason isn't that they are louder or anything, but that it's constant. I mean I literally have an earbud in like 8 hours a day, all through work unless I'm talking to someone and at home I use them as well, and I'm not even an extreme case or anything, others wear theirs more than me. But you make some solid points so ig I could see it going either way.

Good, us Gen Z peeps have earbuds in constantly, we'll need some medical miracles to not be deaf asf bother time we are older
