I see it is the same everywhere. Ours "plug in", plugged in...can't hear..don't have to speak. I actually said something to one of them the other day. The bus ride from hotel to airport was seven minutes, and she spent more time than that unpacking/packing her music aids/headsets.
I said you could have a conversation with us for 5 minutes on the trip you know...blank look, no answer came the response.
