So, I've been using the iPod portion of the new phone quite a bit. I've noticed though that because my ears are clogged up, I can't use them to scan my environment. Add in the fact that I'm concentrating on the music, I find myself closer to condition white at times than my normal yellow.
I still scan with my eyes. I don't like not knowing what's behind me and this has everything to do with simply being aware of my surroundings and nothing to do with paranoia. But I scan less and tend to get tunnel vision while sitting there jamming away.
Anyone else have thoughts on this?
