I don't know if you are just being difficult or not?  You are saying
that you don't use headphones because you like to hear what's around
you.  You only have 1 set of ears I assume.  So you can only hear what's
around you.  If you hire a body guard (and shit, lets face it, who
doesn't need one these days) the guard can act as your set of ears.  If
he is with you 24/7, then you are covered.  You can use your headphones,
satisfied that if anything should happen, he/she will alert you.  Plus,
you get the added bonus of having a friend on call 24/7.  It's a win win
situation.
