My wife absolutely cannot stand my desire to listen to the radio at barely audible volume. She said it’s nails on a chalkboard. It forces her brain to process that which cannot be processed at this volume.

Agreed. Words that you know you could understand but can’t because it’s just a little bit too quiet are just AHHH.

That’s exactly the way she says it too, complete with the AHH.

Do you speak any languages she doesn’t? My husband needs to listen to audiobooks to sleep, but the only way I don’t try to focus on it is by having it in a language I can tune out.

If it’s just audio for you, you might try it with a language you don’t speak
