On a recent post, there were a lot of comments, which said that they were missing the headphones on newer mobile devices.

How many actually use the headphone jack?

I ask, because I have one on my phone, since I really wanted one, but I rarely use it. Like Tops 1/Month.

I also have ADHD and I only use wired headphones so that I don't lose my phone while I'm out of the house. If I've forgotten that I put my phone down and start to walk away, the tugging of the wire alerts me right away. It's been especially useful when I'm using public transportation because losing my phone on the bus is so much more difficult to deal with than if I just lose it around the house somewhere. I do get caught on things a lot and I hate it, but I guess I have more of a tolerance for that than I do losing my phone. So funny to me how the same condition can be so different from person to person!
