Hi there, first time poster, please be gentle with me.
Back story, we have lived in our house for almost 6 years. Couple next door are elderly and hard of hearing, both wear hearing aids.
T.v and music are usually really loud - crazy bonkers loud over our own telly- to the point where we know exactly what they're listening to/ watching.
But, we are not silent either, and as it is generally off by 9pm we don't make a fuss. Lady has asked a few times previously if the noise is too much and they will use their headphones.
Dd is revising for GCSE exams and is finding the telly noise very distracting. All our bedrooms and our through lounge/diner have a wall in common with neighbours, so moving her makes no difference.
It has been especially loud music this weekend , which possibly means Mr is home alone. Learned over the years that He tends to listen to music rather than telly, and won't use headphones unless wife tells him to.
He is grumpy and shouty and once had me in tears over a washing line ( another post) .
I am quite prepared to have the conversation. I am asking for turn down 4-8 on weekdays for a few weeks while the exams are on, but don't want to be difficult or unreasonable.
Please share your thoughts with me and any 'how to word my reader's ideas welcome too.
