15 Mar 2008 The most useful technique for the dancefloor

[ThoughtOfTheDay] Last night I was taught one of the most incredible techniques that one can do on the dance floor to improve one's hearing and I want to share this knowledge with everyone.

I went out with some friends last night. One of them is an Austrailian girl who has done a lot of traveling in her life. Seen lots of different place around the world. Anyway we all ended up going to a random nightclub and we ended up dancing. I love the dancing part of the dance floor but when I comes to talk I find it next to impossible to hear any words due to the loud music. So when the Aussie girl was talking to (shouting at) me all I could do was the usual "What?" and grin and nod politely after not hearing a single word she said.

After a few attempts of communication the Aussie girl beckoned me close with her index finger. She took my finger and plugged my ear with with. Then she repeated herself into my plugged ear.

I could hear every word that she spoke.

The experience blew my mind.

She gave an explanation along the lines of the finger in ear blocks out the white noise and you hear the bass of the voice. Or something like that. Afterward we carried on talking on the dance floor practically next to the speakers and I was able to understand everything. It was the best conversation on the dance floor I have ever had. It doesn't matter that I don't remember what we talked about as I write this entry, the important thing is now I can enjoy stupidly loud music and a conversation.

I must test this out more. Obviously I'll have to find another way to block my ears. It doesn't look good on your part if you say "WHAT'S THAT LUV? I CAN'T HEAR YOU! HOLD ON, LET ME STICK MY FINGERS IN MY EARS!" I'm wondering if ear plugs are the way to go.
