Generation Deaf

[Peter5930]

I don't listen to music, and my hearing is so sensitive that I wear earplugs most of the time to block out annoying noises like the clock ticking in the next room or the constant high-frequency whine from the tiny switched-mode power converter in my optical mouse, or noises like dishes clattering together, which I can find physically painful. I can also hear bats chirping.

[callumcolemanonair]

Actually music is mastered at higher level's because the standard for radio play back has changed and record company's are too lazy to produce both a radio master and a sale's master, The standard used to be about -4 Decibels but recently changed to around 0 Decibel's, As that's the highest you can go without clipping

[WatchmenDrManhattan]

this is one of the best you tube shows

[SirezX]

You should totally patent that hearing aid idea before it's too late ^_-

[naturalistmind]

"and if you've heard music these days, you know why they want you to be deaf" LOL

[Anandaxp]

Cancelled my purchase on ear buds headphones for my phone... I'm gonna save my hearing..

[Nitrozzy7]

The last bit made laugh out loud.

[EmmaKay1000]

Even though I don't listen to things loud, and I don't have the volume all the way up anyway, I still turned down the volume a little more at 45 seconds. {Listening through ear phones}

[crissmanuelmindfreak]

it's not hearing loss , there is something worst, it called tinnitus . please be careful

[BandNerd06Forever]

@crissmanuelmindfreak Beethoven had it before he turned twenty!

[xStateofSleepx]

1:12 lmao;D u r awesome♥♥

[moshpotpaul]

Did they specifically make this video sound muffled to make people worry?

[18yardsout]

Too bad they didn't make this video in 2006 when I did the damage.

[maxaslagolis]

i know my brother only has 50% of the hearing he should so i only turn it up when my dumb bus driver pumps her black soul music(i don't mind it but i want my billy joel)So i try to keep it down cause i treasure my hearing cause i live on music

[guitardudwithguitar]

I have the same head phones .. and I was listening to this with them

[gilkwad]

2 people couldn't hear this video

[Mattlarrivee]

I listen to metal. It has to be loud.

[maxaslagolis]

@Mattlarrivee and you have to be stupid....have fun when you need a mega phone to understand you music you couldn't understand before

[Mattlarrivee]

@maxaslagolis Nice useless comment.

[Shwaggetyshfifty]

0:52 I'M WEARING THOSE HEADPHONES RIGHT NAO! Sony MDR-XD200's, nigga. Best headphones for the price.

[77CRAZYMAC]

does anyone else see the hearing aid ad side of this video?

[55metalmonkey]

@77CRAZYMAC yep, LMAO

[lilyandalyssatv]

@77CRAZYMAC I have a political ad :/

[Cdaae663]

@77CRAZYMAC No, but I see an ad for a cellular service.

"Can you hear me now?" No? Ok then.

[Patadude100]

Crap. I play my PSP using ear buds around.... 9 hours a day.

[LlednarJediMaster69]

im actually hearing this through earbuds...

[gizmo00000000000]

you really need subtitles I can't hear you.

[lorena33614]

did u know that u have 18,000 ear hair cells

[joey50557]

i already have the flashy blinged out built in mp3 headphones. they rock

[kirjolohipastilli]

I have exactly the same "old bulky headphones" and they are good!

[coolistish]

"and when you hear music these days, it makes sense why they want you to be deaf." haha, too true

[SillyNerdify]

The only time my music is loud enough to be anywhere close to what he's talking about is when I'm REALLY angsty, like when I got dumped, so I was playing Three Days Grace loudly while looking pissed off on the bus, or when my stepsister was being 'such a bitch!' so Billy Talent, top volume... on my old hardly working crappy CD player across the room. Yea, being 18, I'm pretty much done with the whole teenage angst thing, so my music is not loud enough to cause damage. :)

[LilDrummerBoy74]

0:50: I have those headphones!

2:08: I'm pretty sure that a "piper" plays bagpipes not flute.

All: I listen to classical music and I'm 18. More hearing for me :D

[ParisAshleyGlasgow]

@LilDrummerBoy74 the pied piper

played a flute,

[LukeBlueFive]

Great stab at contemporary music!  People are -definitely- going to go deaf in style... listening to top 20 songs.

[veroman34]

I listen to jazz..... From 1958...

[pizzaguy553]

wait did he say hearing aids with built in mp3 players lol

[myuzeefreak]

@pizzaguy553 oh shit, you ARE deaf, aren't u...

[mechaghostman2]

@pizzaguy553

That would be cool!

[AllMeGoToHeaven]

i don't wanna come out of my mouth...

[Andrewcbld]

pause, press play, and press 5... !STUPID FACE!

[headlessSpleen]

You can hear camera guy talk! :D

[ThatsFresh26]

I dont care... i like my ear buds i took sign language for a really long time so if i do go deaf i can still talk i guess...Death Metal is not ment to be played soft haha

[PrincesAnimeAngel]

I wear head phones. I've never worn ear-buds. And I'm 13. They won't fit in, and I always found them useless. You can just as easily wait until your home, instead of waisting money on MP3 players. I haven't even owned anyone of those new things. All I have is a simple computer, thats not too old, and a pair of head phones. They aren't as bulk as those, but they are better than the other thing kids have.

[vomitmearainbow]

I like my music loud. I definitely prefer bulky headphones (like skullcandies), and sound-canceling ones, because I actually like the look of them. Sorry, I don't care about the facts, though - my music will forever be loud.

.... I love how the ad is a hearing-aid ad.

[snemelka]

"We're going to go deaf in style!"

[fallenangel12111]

XD I find it funny when one of my friends takes my ear bud out and trys to liston to my music cos they can never hear it there like Wtf Where is your music and im like I can hear it , your going death from listoning to it so loud . I like my mp3 on the lowest setting cos ian still hear it

[tamagirllaura1]

@fallenangel12111 same! my mp3 player goes up to 31 I think and I can listen to it at 1-2 at night

[Ragroxin]

Bulky headphones also have better quality sound ...

[tgoyer]

The next one-million dollar idea: Hearing Aid Spinners. :)

[jaderose2009]

"we're gonna go deaf in style" - probably so

[klutzyredhead]

Best line:

"And when you hear music these days, it makes sense why they want you to be deaf."

I died laughing.

[kingdomgirl94]

These headphones, the bulky ones, are in style here now. :P HA

[fuck1the1law]

love around 0:48- like 1:05 best part to me lol

[RedSonRising1]

I watched this with headphones on my iPod touch, a bit ironic I think

[Nitronick]

@RedSonRising1

Oh yeah totally ironic dewd

[TheGeniusSavant]

Wait... PAUSE... turn volume up... PLAY... what did he say... ;)

Another thought... WEAR HEARING PROTECTION!!!

-when operating loud equipment

-when riding a motorcycle!

-even when attending that rock concert!

[t0y2610]

Did you master the audio volume of this video LOWER than usual? Or is it just me?

[schmolly971]

FINALLY! Somone other than me and my dog whose lips I forced into that possition said the word HIP in a likable fasion! ITS CATCHING ON!!!!!!!!

[rauchsolid]

I'm pretty sure they lower and muffle the sound gradually through this video forcing us to either turn up the volume or lean closer to the computer. GOOD ONE. Seriously, hilarious.

[trisnjok]

1:28..... eh, so true, so true...

[goosazul]

yeah... but a lot of teen hearing loss is genetic too... i got hearingaids in fifth grade before my friends or i had earbuds... i dont think people will ever showoff hearingaids, though...but this video will not make me buy headphones, because i already have to keep track of my hearingaids every single time i want to listen with earbuds...

[Cheng3ric]

Just watched this AMAZING video in headphones.... I'ma take them off now... Your awesome.

[mynameisdarthtater]

Lolz the iHear. I can see it now.

[EdwardsMafia]

"An when you hear music these days it makes sense why they want you to be deaf!" Lol SOO funny!

[paulsky1]

lol its so true ... ive killed myears already and i have whats called tinitus ... which basically meanstheyre so damaged i hear a high pitched noise all the time... it sounds like im getting signals from space

[darthspeaks]

I love how they turn the sound down a little bit at a time during the video!

[jetzki123]

I've been addicting to watching this channel's videos.

[Russoft]

congratulations, you made me turn down the volume while watching this video.

[RawCake]

Thumbs up. Great message.

I liked your ending note of how we'll "go deaf in sytle"

[OneDragonmaster]

I don't need to tune out the whole world like a sensitive wuss, therefore I don't have an iPhone.

[brainac0cult]

@Johnbgg94 & METAL

[nooneisusingthisname]

OLD BULKY HEADPHONES ARE THE COOLEST THING THAT EXIST.

please world, understand that.

[russianbear0027]

never used buds, they aren't comfortable

[TheShadowmin]

i wear ear buds but i dont turn them up that loud. i can hear someone talking normally all the way across the room, and if i cant hear, i DO go to a quieter room.

[ab314]

I freaking love this channel. =D

[robertbaldwinxu]

You should always wear that jacket! lol

[bgood4ever]

i'll buy hearing aid stocks. i'll be rich in 15 years.

[arrexu]

XD I've been wanting to buy a shirt that says "someday my kind will take over the world"

and... we will. With the help of the iPod. Thanks, Apple! :D

just joking. XD

[RipPhilOdonnell]

their so dumb cuz then we wont by the cd's

[arkibet]

I love that jacket!

[SincerelyJackie]

"... it makes sense why they want you to be deaf."

king of the truth!

lol "we're gonna go deap in style"

[Endoalir]

Very true. It doesn't take much time to sustain permanent damage to your ears when the sound is loud enough. :(

[Comic4hire]

First comment!!! Love the series keep it up.
