At first I thought it might just be me, but online and in person, I’m hearing more and more people talk or joke about how crazy loud movie theater speakers are getting. Lots of people (including myself) are resorting to wearing ear plugs just to watch a movie without getting ear pain. Meanwhile, I almost never see anyone complaining about *not* being able to hear a movie in the theater.
Is there a secret wave of people who can’t hear theater speakers that I’m just missing? Or is something else going on?

It has always been unbelievably unbearably loud. The first time I ever went to a movie theatre when I was about eight years old I remember them lighting up behind the screen to show off their gigantic 10ish foot tall bass speaker before sending out a massive boom with it. It damn near blew up my eardrums and ever since then I’ve always brought earplugs with me to the theater. I have particularly sensitive years and as I’ve gotten older I found out my friends have begun to care as well, so it seems to be a sensitive ear/age thing.
