My SO and I are both playing games in our game room with our tvs right next to each other. They recently got the Persona rhythm game and I got Moonlighter. My hearing isn't great so I have my tv turned up a bit to hear the music and sounds in the game. They tell me to turn mine down so they can hear their game better and that the tv was loud enough to give them a headache.

We get into an argument on opposite sides basically with me saying that if one of us is playing a rhythm game that requires the music to be heard well, that that person should wear headphones or the like because their choice of game with audio needs shouldn't trump the other's enjoyment of their game music (if they want to hear it). They have the argument that since their game NEEDS audio and mine doesn't that I should have my audio turned down enough (but to them, "down enough" is to the point I can't hear the music well over the rhythm game.)

So therein lies the question, AITA?
