My sister got a Bluetooth headset and it reminded me that i cant use those because my ears heat up in less than 10 seconds after putting them on, in fact as i am typing this my ears are kinda of uncomfortably hot. Dust also cause my ears to heat, it usually the cause but it can also happen randomly as well as when i leave the PC monitor running when i sleep(same room).

there is some other stuff i thought to mention but i think it would be better for a post after discovering your body(e.g my cousin though all ppl can only see through one eye until recently because he himself can only see through one eye and that’s how he found out he has only one functioning eye)

Also feel free to talk about NSFW stuff and is this post hard to read(sentence structure wise)? Cause i never know if ppl have hard time reading my post, and at the moment i find it hard to read myself

    I could do that with CRT TVs. Back when we had one, I could always tell when someone was watching TV. No matter where I was in the house.

      It’s quite normal for kids and teenagers.

      Starting in the 20s, your hearing of higher frequencies will degrade and you won’t be able to hear CRTs anymore.

      When I was 30 I visited someone who had a CRT for gaming, and a 19 year old friend complained about the pitch I couldn’t hear. That was the moment I felt old for the first time

        I’m over 40 and can still hear CRTs.

        Seasonic PC power supplies are good quality, but man, they have some serious coil whine.

        As a child I was told by my parents that using headphones (circum aural) would destroy my hearing. They preferred me using earphones (in ear) instead.
        I kept using headphones.

        I’m way past the teens and can still hear the tubelights (the new ones, only from very close, when other things are silent) and the old flat screen CRT. Also, the whine from the UPS at the previous workplace, which most other couldn’t hear, but for me, was pretty loud.

        The difference was that my headphone volume tended to be at 10 - 20% while other people went out to dance parties with continuous loud music (I didn’t).

            By UPS at work, I meant one that takes up half a server room filled with transformer and battery units. The fans are not loud enough to be heard outside the room. But the high pitched sound (possibly coil whine) could be heard 2 rooms over.

              Ah, sorry, I read that to mean that you’ve never had a CRT TV so it didn’t make sense to me. But now re-reading that I have absolutely no idea how I understood what I understood, that’s what happens when you ask stuff online before coffee I guess.
