Comment on How bad is it really to listen to music with headphones? My mom told me if I keep doing that I'd go deaf... Is that fearmongering?

  Yeah, for sure. My husband and I are both like this. Waving my arm often works for getting his attention.

  But a frustrated parent could definitely blame it on headphones or think the kid is going deaf. Especially if they are not the kind of person that immerses like that.

  Unless the parent can hear the headphone music themselves from a few feet away. In which case, they have a point that it might be too loud.
