- moffkalast 4y agoTbf, that's been the case for a hundred years since headphones were invented. I doubt it's changed much.
- analog31 4y agoI suppose that's true. But at least most people took their headphones off when they weren't at home, which somewhat limited their exposure time. Today, when I'm outdoors, it seems like a large fraction of people are wearing earbuds. For instance when I'm riding on the bike path, I have to be alert to the fact that nearly everybody out there who's walking or jogging won't hear my signal from behind as I pass them, because they're all wearing earbuds.
