Defective Ears
I dropped a pretty penny on some Audio Technica noise-canceling headphones for an upcoming trip. Lord knows I sure do enjoy some marathon movie watching on them flying machines, and for once I’d like to hear the dialogue of said crappy entertainment. Anyway, after much debate between over-the-ear or in-ear headphones I chose the latter and had a seriously frustrating hour of shoving the earbuds in every which way in an attempt to get them in my goddamn ears. No dice. Finally, I was able to get them in and vowed never to remove them. Then of course I tested out my iPod and almost became deaf thanks to Justin Timberlake. Woops. Audio settings can hurt. Well, the learning curve is over now, I’m pretty sure I can correctly wear my headphones maybe 50% of the time. The other 50% I’ll just be drawing attention to myself as I attempt to manipulate my ears until I either puncture an eardrum or get myself in a position where I can wedge the earpiece in place in a vain attempt to cancel out screaming children and airplane engines.
