"One Picture And One Story Week #97".

Hey everyone, how are you all doing? I'm here to share my experience on sound hearing as my one picture and one story for the contest. Thanks to @suboohi for conducting this contest.

THE EAR, THEY SAY, IS AN ORGAN THAT PLAYS A VERY IMPORTANT ROLE IN BALANCING.

‎When I was a neo sound engineer , my boss will send me to go and check the sound system to know if anyone have any malfunction , those speakers being in pairs most times i will end up being unable to dictate all the malfunctioning speakers , but him from a distance will tell me , that one have an error ,even standing from a distance , and then I will ask him how do you notice and know this even from a distance ? , and he said to me the spirit will enter you !! ,funny enough, I was building and waiting for that spirit to enter me , but I did not see it . The only thing I saw was my ears being built and developed to picking sound easily.
‎
‎Those days when we go for shows ,we enter some compounds and sometimes some people will come to say , reduce the volume of the sound , and some will come at a time and say to us is okay , is enough take this money , I don't like noise ( especially when they are the owners of the compound) , some will come to say increase the volume ,get more speakers I want the neighbors to hear the noise , to some when we want to close they will say , play more please ,I will add more money....,
‎
‎Inside the church ,as the sound engineer you will see some people coming to tell you , please increase the volume of my mic , or the guitar or the keyboard, and you will be asking them are you deaf , can't you hear ,and they still give you the reply that they are not hearing it ,
‎
‎In some cases you will enter a play or maybe passing and you discover that the sound is loud but not neat or clean or filtered in most cases ,at that point you will not know whether to pity the speakers 🔊 or the neighbors/ listeners
‎
‎Some people while growing old their listinnig ability begins to dwindle , while in some people ,their ears becomes so atuned to hearing and picking up sounds from a distance

I once lived in a noisy compound ,that whenever I come home , one neighbor must be quarrelling with another neighbor, and once I hear those disturbing noise there is no sleeping for me and no Concentration for me , we don't escape a month without watching unnecessary drama or separating insensitive quarrels , at some point while coming back ,I will be praying for light , and once there is light , then I will have to turn on a soft music ,that I will no longer hear what is happening outside and when there is no light then I put on my headset.

Come to think of waking up by 5 o'clock AM about to pray and the next neighbor is playing " liquor slave from lucky dube " 🎶 ,and trying to meditate you hear the next door neighbor turning up the volume of the movie he or she is watching that the voice is already distracting , and while trying to focus again ,the land lord will turn on his mega phone to preach ,you will hear , hallelujah !! " If you are smoking, stop it........." , and then then from the next compound , they are playing, " come and see that the Lord is good " at that moment you have no option than a prayer point telling God to bless you .

‎One day I went to get a speaker for an occasion after all discussions , when we were about to check how well the speaker sounds , standing from a far distance I was able to dictate the sound ,but the engineer was putting his ear in front of the speakers to know whether it was okay. ? And when I told him that the speaker was okay ,he asked me how did you know that ? , and I remembered when I asked the same question
‎
‎The moment you realize that your ears picks more sound or more noise as you grow , and knowing how to control it , the better for you , some people use to buy headsets ,ear piece and some at that moment or point of realization they build their focus , which comes with building your mind and attention ,some people as they grow older their listinnig ability dwindles while some it gets surprisingly on the increase....‎ but to me, due to experience, good headsets and ear pods , because there are ones that can cause more harm than good when used often .
