Is everyone under 30 deaf?

I too find this generation loud. Loud in politics, opinions, just loud in general. Maybe, it is to do with their indoctrination in the education system?

I agree BlueBelle and the Sony Walkman - turned up as loud as it could go in all its tinny sound!
I don’t find youngsters today particularly loud, I’ve got louder (deaf and won’t wear hearing aids) neighbours actually.

It appears ( from the majority) of replies that some posters never had a youth.

When I first noticed earlier buds I thought they where hearing aids 😂.
I have talked to people and had no reply them they notice I have said something and taken a one out of their ear so they could reply.
The worse was in September going to York via train had a reserved seat as I am disabled makes sense for me so the travel assistance people don't have to hunt for a seat for me. A young man sat in the next seat. As soon as the train pulled away he turned up the music in his ear buds and started writing . I tapped him on the shoulder and asked if he would turn his music down but was very rude and said no I am working . The ticket collector came
I explained he wouldn't turn his music down and due to my disability have problems with loud noises as it makes my anxiety worse especially when travelling . So asked to be moved . He went into the next carriage and came back for me and took my luggage it was bliss everyone in there was quiet even the ones with ear buds you couldn't hear their music . I was a 2 hour journey .

Well I bet we were just as loud apart from the earbuds etc Think of our festivals, the Rolling Stones and how our mums would tell us we d go deaf and the peace and anti apartheid marches we went on and then in my children’s teens I remember my son blasting Madness out all the time and the ceiling used to almost vibrate
All generations think they were better than the next and their times were the best ever

When I think back to how quiet, orderly and respectful my generation was, while still under 30, it makes my blood boil the way today's youngsters behave.

We never listened to loud music or raised our voices in public.

Golly gosh, what is the world coming too.

Pardon.

You can’t have a conversation with anyone these days they have all got earbuds and texting on their phones

I’m sure that they wear ear buds turned up too loud, this must have a bad effect on their hearing.

Yes. So many people are really loud and common these days.

If they are not deaf by 30 they may be by 50.
