However, that is not your problem. If you show your justifiable anger you might just get their backs up and then on top of their not turning it down, they will glare at you every time you step out.

I so agree that inviting them over and asking them to leave their TV on so they can hear how loud it is, is a good plan.....unless an undiagnosed hearing problem is what it is and then they will just stare at you as if you are mistaken.

I think the best way is to say that you think that they have a hearing loss because the TV is so loud that your husband cannot sleep in your bedroom because he can hear it through the walls. A hearing loss is not a character weakness, being stubborn is, so after that, if they don't turn it down, call deed restrictions. There is a noise rule.

Good luck. I wear hearers. I don't think I am stubborn. If that doesn't work come live over by us.

Kindest wishes,
