Another 'study' telling us what we already know. Groundbreaking.

i work in a warehouse and i’m 45, can’t hear shit in the wind. u don’t need a study for this.

Luca Reid2026-07-19T18:41:09.000Z

yeah nah parties are rough when u can't hear. my mate wears hearing aids and still struggles. good that someone's researching this

River Cole2026-07-19T19:19:09.000Z

lol okay grandpa

Leo McKenzie2026-07-19T18:59:09.000Z

maybe if people actually faced you when they spoke instead of yelling from across the room we'd all hear better. common sense

Luca Reid2026-07-19T19:09:09.000Z

nah mate it's actually a thing. my grandma said the same trick works for her

Jack Morrison2026-07-19T19:38:09.000Z

Drew Parker2026-07-19T19:12:09.000Z

ffs this is why I hate open plan offices. Can't hear a damn thing in meetings either.

Drew Parker2026-07-19T20:27:09.000Z

facts, offices are the worst

Pro tip: if you can't hear at a party, you're probably at the wrong party. Go find the ones with decent music instead of chit chat.

What a load of shit. Everyone just wants attention. Get over yourselves.

Ruby Fraser2026-07-19T20:39:09.000Z
