Yes, the radio can be distracting.  We are taught, and teach, in Archery that  the human mind can only concentrate on one thing at a time (and there are a lot of things to do to send a pointy stick into the middle of the bullseye).  Concentrate on one thing and you're better off.

 

That makes perfect sense, but for me if I am concentrating hard on something my mind turns the music off and I don't even think about turning it down.

No, I don't do that one.

But will usually remove my ball cap to drop a heater.

I don't take my ball cap off but I do remove my hearing aids.

All the time when I get into traffic.

Ever drive down a street looking for an address, and you turn your radio down so you can see better?

Hootie

If it works keep doing it  (and yes I've done this)

Sometimes I take off my glasses when I can't hear what's happening!  ;  )

Hmmmmmmmmmm I drove a 18 wheeler for 31 years. I always turned the radio off and roll down the window when backing up to a dock or driving on snow and ice. I do the same thing with my boat.

I always did that with my boat. Wanted to be able to hear the "CRUNCH" before to much damage was done....lol.

All the time.

Probably not a coincidence that I also will close my eyes when trying to isolate a particular sound in a noisy environment.  Was that a white throated sparrow?

Kind  of like listening to a radio in a boat....i do like music but natures noises are much better and sometimes its hard to concentrate with all that's going on with "Mother Nature".  Guess I'm getting old.......er.

It helps me focus for whatever reason lol
