[Unglaublich Verwustung]

Actually, I was wondering whether the comment about music in tv shows is valid. I just thought that it was the kids playing the tv too loud (because they do and we always have to make them turn it down). But, if what you say is the case, then maybe they are turning it up loud so that they can hear dialogue (yeah, kids listening to dialogue, funny idea).

Equally I know that they play music way too loud - which is funny, 'cause I remember my parents saying that to me. But I still play music at the same 'too loud' volume which I always have, but my kids think that is quiet.

We had a moment yesterday, where I asked daughter-child what music she was playing, when she came downstairs, and she responded "How did you know I was listening to music?". When I said that I could hear it, she stopped, listened and then said "How? I can't hear anything down here."

She seemed genuinely mystified, so I hummed the notes I could hear, she told me what it was and agreed that she was listening to that upstairs, but just couldn't hear it downstairs.

Music is making out children deaf. Aaargghhh! I'm turning into my parents.....
