I love it! It really drowns out my tinnitus :)

I listen to music soooo often that I feel very strange when there is silence.

iPods were invented for a reason too richard. :) I can NOT stand loud noise unless I am a bit on the hypomanic side. The ding of a car door, tv on the news, people who do the yard work once a week YEAR AROUND (I live in a southern climate) all that drives me completely nuts. Repetitive noise of ANY kind will drive me up the wall. Sometimes I don't even like to hear others talk but that is isolating so my pdoc says. Everyone needs an iPod at least in my house they do.

When driving, I can't stand being next to cars that are blasting music at top volume.
Even if you can drown out the sound, you still FEEL the beat.

It's not so much a societal dislike.
It makes me physically ill.

I went through a long, very hypermanic period where *I* was the one blasting it. Both in the car and when home.

And at work, where I was allowed to play music.
But they were always telling me to turn it down.

I pity those who were around me.

I absolutely love loud music. Hate loud tv or noises tho.

If it's MY loud music, I'm ok with it .
If it's someone else's loud music, it drives me up a wall.

And good lord yes..those cars that sit next to at a light, and their Base is up so loud your ears hurt , your car windows vibrate...awwwwck !

I used to listen to my ipod at full volume, couldn't be without it
anywhere I went. Since being on meds I can't stand loud music.
It's really a drastic change for me.

Richard, I am living in a house in town pretty close to my neighbors but I always use my headphones because they are magnificent and also because I don't want to be like the people six houses down that make me listen to and feel their music. Those people irritate me but then I put my headphone on and stop caring again.

When I lived in the country where I could step out on my front porch and yell without anyone hearing, it was a little different but in town...headphones only.
