Why are movie theater speakers getting so loud?

684 viewsOtherTechnology

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?

I thought I was just getting old. But I always have to pack earplugs to go to the movies.

I don’t understand how people just subject themselves to extreme noise without complaint. Maybe people are just deaf from all the earbud use in the past decade?
