Dp has tv loud and I can’t stand it

So basically dp watches tv every evening, I don’t really watch tv, I’m normally on my phone or laptop or something. I think he has the tv loud, and I find it over stimulating and I can’t relax properly. He says he has to have it at that volume so he can hear it properly. I suggested he use headphones, he said no, that they won’t be comfortable. I said he should get his hearing checked but he says nothing wrong with his hearing! I said I think we need some sort of compromise, and he’s stormed off to bed and said he just won’t watch tv anymore 🙄.

what can we do? We have no other rooms to go off to, our downstairs is all open plan, kitchen and dining and living room all together, then the bedrooms all occupied by the kids. Our room we can’t use other than to sleep as we share with our 2 small dc. Babies. (We are trying to buy a bigger house right now) but in the mean time… I don’t want to argue about this! Suggestions?

Is is possible you are putting yourself at risk of hearing loss by sitting in front a super loud tv? If he has the closed captions on that include all the noise descriptions could you not watch the tv with the volume on at a lower level together?

Ah, that's so kind of you to express concern thank you. I don't think it's loud enough to be a danger to me though. It's not as loud as an average cinema, for example. (sometimes I have found cinemas have the volume uncomfortably loud).
