Advice Needed - Deaf Neighbour

Get your revenge with the Roobarb & Custard theme tune.

Or do the headphones gift.

A gift of wireless headphones?

this^^^

it isn't like they need to be 'audiophile' ones either

Get your revenge with the Roobarb & Custard theme tune.

You could approach the environmental health department of your council and explain the situation. I'm sure they will have heard of this exact type of problem before, and might be able to suggest something that you haven't already thought of. Worth a shot anyway.

Cheers all.

Going to get the wife to try and talk to her (probably better coming from her) then go from there. I like the headphones idea but turning up with a set of headphones is a wee bit random

Haha love it.. Get the wife to do it so you can still be the nice guy! I like your thinking!!

 

[Steveocee]

A polite and non condescending letter to her may help. Assuming she isn't blind as well.
If it continues you can complain to the council noise polution people.

Explain the situation nicely, as she more than likely doesn't even realise what's happening as it's not loud to her

Then you could suggest subtitles and or headphones, even say you have a spare set she could borrow, might seem less awkward than saying you've already bought her a pair

Give her a knock, have a brew and explain that you like her very much as a lovely neighbour but you have a little issue to discuss and you don't want to hurt her feelings and see what she says.

Say you don't want to offend her or feel like she can't enjoy her TV and radio and would she be offended if she helped you figure out how she can continue to enjoy those things and let your kids get a good nights sleep.

Some simple things would reduce the noise pollution, pointing TVs and radios in certain directions for a start.

 

[neil3k]

kill her

 

[datalol-jack]

Give her a knock ...

kill her

Well that escalated quickly.

 

[darael]

I have wireless headphones, so I'd knock and offer to show her the wonders of wireless headphones and how easy they are to charge during the night ready for the next day.

 

[robfosters]

kill her

He's not Harold Shipman, although old Harold could be quite handy in such circumstances.

 

[Kylevdm]

I really do worry about you lot. However, wireless headphones are great, I got some for my gran mother.

They don't even need to be good!

 

[robfosters]

I really do worry about you lot.

Whatever do you mean?

 

[datalol-jack]

My own neighbour normally starts such 'chats' with a 'I don't mean to be a bad sort...' routine. I feel a note through the door could come across as short, impersonal and fairly critical. Just have a talk in the first instance.

 

[TBirdUK]

I would offer to take her to get a hearing aid, seems specsavers do them, although having seen the price, min £495 maybe headphones are the way ahead!
