Computers and those Blasted pop-up ads

Most people know the irritation of having multiple tabs open on the computer, and suddenly, something starts playing on one. Then you have to start clicking through your tabs, going, nope, not that one. Nope. Nope. Nope. OH! THERE! BYEEE!

Now, when you can't hear very well on one side, or can't hear at all one side, you don't always know it's actually the computer. This is because without having two ears that hear well, you can't pinpoint very well where the sound comes from. If it's loud enough and a constant sound, you can possibly find it by wagging your head back and forth, using how loud it is in certain directions to help you find out where it is. (Louder....louder...lou...no, no, quieter...back that way. Louder...louder...louder...THERE it is.) This can actually take a while. But what if an advertisement pops up and it's not a sound you can easily follow? Well, basically, you gotta search the house to make sure it's not the computer, and then come back to the computer and smack yourself in the head for not figuring it out sooner. 

Technology is definitely interesting when you can only hear part of it. I will freely admit that.
