When working on hobbies, such as painting miniatures or working on models, how often do you wear headphones/earbuds to listen to audio and/or watch video or just to keep out external noise (sound-cancelling)? A. Never
B. Rarely
C. Sometimes
D. Often
E. Always ----------------- Over the last few years, I find myself in E, Always. I wear an Optivisor and use headphones that fit fine with my Optivisor. I'd use earbuds, but they bother my ears. I like listening to one of my Pandora/Sirius-XM stations or an audio drama. (Right now, I'm on disc 3 of the BBC's old Lord of the Rings radio drama, which I haven't heard since the early 1980s.) Nothing too jarring! Helps relax me and keeps me focused, blocking out the neighborhood chatter. |

No. I'd just get things thrown at me if the rest of the family couldn't get my attention. |

Mostly paint in basement so outside noise is minimal, do listen to music and podcasts |

If I do listen to anything, I use a Bluetooth speaker |

A. Never, I also use a bluetooth speaker. I have earplugs in at work for 8 hours a day, no way am I doing it while having fun! |

A. I generally don't like them and only use them on the plane. |

I have hearing aids with a Bluetooth function. So I sometimes listen to 1960s music via Spotify. |

Never. If I have the place to myself, and it's still day time, I may put the Ramones or the Pogues on a little too loud. |
| Martin Rapier | 29 Mar 2023 12:05 a.m. PST |
No. The only time I wear earbuds is on a plan, although I use a headset and mic for work calls. Like Oberlindes, I prefer to listen to The Ramones as intended. Loud and in the room. |

Okay. I figured I was in the "weird" minority on this one. LoL. |
