Volume at the parks

[lalasmama]

I have "moderate" hearing impairment (and I'm "old") and DL can be very LOUD....especially some of the rides......Indy, I am looking at you!! (haven't been on GOTG yet)..... I can't really wear hearing aids there because it's so loud and if I do, I have to take them out and plug my ears with my fingers on those loud rides!! haha

Bluetooth hearing aids. You turn them on and off with your phone! Bonus: you can use it to stream Pandora or other music as well

I've always thought a lot of the rides were too loud (Space Mountain sometimes for sure) and I'm only 35 now...

I have not noticed anything like that. Everything sounds normal to me, but it sounds like I'm the weird one.

I guess I'm weird too! Sure it's loud but I didn't think it was any louder than usual on our last trip. The music etc has always just been part of the experience for me.

Im in my 20s and I find the volume on 90% of the rides to be way loud. Dark rides in Fantasyland, Monsters INC, Toy Story, and all the hype rides too. I have to plug my ears when I ride some of these rides.
I've now started bringing ear plugs for the day.

You are not alone, they turn the volume UP cause too many young people are nearly DEAF. Next time you are at Walgreens or a drug store pick up half-dozen cheap foam EAR-PLUGS. Put them in your main travel bag when you get home. When traveling on business or pleasure, I put a set in my pocket every morning. Work great during DL parades, opening kick-offs at USC or Denver, or taking a nap on the LAX to Atlanta flight. Try it, you might be amazed how often you reach in your pocket for your ear plugs

Um, no?

I've always thought it was too loud and have excellent hearing. I started wearing earplugs during parades and enjoy them much more now.
