I’m convinced that it’s not actually any better in theaters, we’re just a lot more willing to bear painfully loud audio in a setting where it’s considered normal. There’s an argument to be made that it’s similar to concerts, but for my money I’d like to not have to wear ear protection in a theater just because some director figured minor hearing hearing damage is worth an especially “epic” crescendo.

I legitimately bring hearing protection to any Nolan films and any "Dolby cinema" branded theaters, as that's code for "we just turn the volume up until every word is painful for anyone under 65"

Even with in-ear stuff meant for the range, I can hear the films clearly because they are so loud, lol.
