Tonight I found out my partner of 18 years is a fellow rumbler!

I remember finding out about my special “ability” in my 20s. I was at a party and a drunk girl was babbling something at me and asked what I thought. I told her I didn’t actually hear her, I was rumbling her out. She was of course like ‘wtf are you talking about’ and the rest is history.

I was doing it this evening and trying to break my record of how long I could sustain it when the hubbz came in. He was asking if I’m okay because it looked like I was just sitting there staring at a paused screen. I said I’m not actually doing nothing, I’m ear rumbling. I expected him to be like WTF but instead he was like ‘oh, okay.’

Turns out he’s an ear rumbler too! What are the odds?! So I got to explain to him than no, most people can’t do it on command and he’s now blown away. 51 years old and he didn’t know lol
