you're getting old and cannot hear high frequencies anymore yo I did a test recently and I still have a lot of hearing, still I am hearing my hearing is way better than a 30 year old should have that's all I'm going to say I am I have throughout my life I've been very cautious about my hearing I'm wearing like, I used I have a music background and like right from the get-go I was like I got a hair like wear ear protection when I'm practicing a lot of stuff so I still have super good hearing I in fact I have like way better hearing than most of my friends so like sometimes maybe that's because I mumble so much, but like I can always hear people in like different rooms and like what they're saying and all that but when I speak people can't hear beats like super annoying

[Music]

I worked in a live music venue for over 15 years I'm deaf as yeah I got like a molded, in air, air rejection so like it's it's kind of it's a I need to do it again because when I got it when I was like 17 and I've used the same ones and I don't think the mold fits as good anymore but it's super annoying they take like a gel gun sort of and put put like what they first did was they inserted like a little cotton thing into your ear and then place it next to your eardrum because otherwise you know and then they scoot in like this goo in your ear and then you they get a mold of your inner ear canal and then they like slowly pinch it out because they can actually pull out the eardrum if you do it incorrectly, and then they make, ear protection out of that and it's it's best investment I've ever done my entire life getting that I can always hear voices aren't there oh that's so funny yeah yeah it's it's like it's so weird when they do it too because it's the most quiet I've ever ex like the most silence I've ever experienced my entire life because your ears are literally blocked off by everything almost it's not a perfect vacuum but you you can get a perfect vacuum from it, but there's still sound like you're still hearing like I hear my body and that's super strange I can hear like my my I can hear like blood pumping, and like yeah it's kind of crazy it's weird when you walk if you're using active noise canceling headphones through this plugs do the same thing no because noise canceling headphones they, they like they what they do is they capture audio from outside you and then they play back inverse or not inverse but, what's it called, I can't remember what it's called but, you're hearing audio when you're using, like noise canceling headphones if you're just listening to that by itself and it's trying to like cancel out but you also need to account for like the the frequencies of the headphones and stuff like that so you never get like a perfect Silence with that it just has this weird effect this is legit silence The only voice I hear is telling me to harvest good
