On subject of #voicetraining.

I'm currently not doing so as my dad has hearing damage and struggles to hear my mum and sister due to the timbre of their voices. He is often left isolated from conversations and appreciates time with myself, my nephew and my future brother in law.

I have a similar problem. I damaged my own hearing with loud music and earphones and very recently gave it an extra kick with some ex bass headphones. I often miss what my family say, specially my son who sounds like he is whispering to me

I have mild hearing damage on one side from pyrotechnics in Airsoft. I'm now a firm believer in ear defenders and toning down the DB in bangers

For my dad it was a lifelong career as a motor mechanic. Ear protection was never a thing considered until very recently in that trade and a few of the older techs and managers suffer similar issues now.

Oh I can imagine. You can often hear bikes and cars that people are working on themselves round here and despite double glazing the noise is terrible, and we don't have our head stuck in the engine bay

However I hate my voice since puberty (I assumed everyone did), and now worry about the change in societal direction.

I'm pondering training but would it actually be worth it. Would it still be cocky but also isolating for my dad.
