Sometimes I have the opposite problem, where the audience is more disruptive than anything. I haven't been in a while, but I'm thinking back to the random cheering and clapping that pulls you out of the movie.
I also find that a lot of theatres are too loud now, but maybe my ears are getting old
I do too and I've probably damaged my hearing in my youth by being careless & invincible. I bought a set of fancy concert earplugs ($30ish) that protect hearing without muffling the sound and they were well worth it. They fit in a little capsule on my keychain so I've got them if I wind up someplace unexpectedly loud.
oh dang, the Eargasm ones? I just got a pair last weekend
Yup, a friend recommended them to me and I'm really happy with them. I haven't quite gotten the hang of gauging my own speaking volume when I have them in at a loud bar or something but I'll figure it out with more practice.
I have a talent to always get or pick the seat where the tallest dude or the highest hairstyle is present and in the row before me.
