They make hearing aids
Comment on Boomers with their loud Samsung phone sounds

I know boomers do it but I also see every generation do it. I know boomers do it because it’s a accessibility reasons due to age and poor hearing and the phone will not get loud enough for them to actually hear it without speakerphone.
I fucking hate it regardless but how else are people with poor hearing able to actually hear anything on these phones though.
Usually most of the time the main problem I have is fucking people playing music on there phones, usually people 25 or younger who just don’t care about others. I get more of them then actually boomers doing it.
Learning technology when you grown up without it and then expecting to learn all about it when your aging and getting older and brains just don’t work as well.
Regardless of who it’s fucking annoying and I hate it but I mainly blame the companies who don’t incorporate better accessibility for people and society (mainly past society) just never teaching people and society as a whole for this fucking American shit culture we have.

Neither Medicare nor most health insurance covers hearing aids, or glasses for that matter.

Phones can also vibrate. That’s pretty damn accessible for the hearing impaired.

Very true it is accessible. Although I don’t know any phone or anybody that’s able to hear words from phone vibrations like that. Is this a new type of accessibility option?

My rant was about notification sounds. I’m going to make a new MildlyInfurating post about how people don’t read posts before responding

Yep, it’s called Bluetooth bone conducting headphones and if you’re that deaf, you should buy a cheap pair. They’re only like $20 on Amazon. Saves you being a loud asshole in public.
