...listen to the radio with my head underwater?

I like lying in the bath with my ears submerged, but that makes the radio go all muffled. Suggestions please.

Get an underwater speaker fitted to your bath.

They exist.

DIY alternative.....

You could strap a sub to the side of the bath and then hang some speakers from the ceiling and dangle them into the water (just put them in a carrier bag and gaffa tape it water tight Thumbs Up)

Just what I was thinking, stick a surface speaker on the outside of the bath.

You could try a soundbug or two - those are the thing that turn any flat surface into a speaker.

They work, I used to have one. Not sure if they'd put out enough energy to overcome the damping effect of all that water.

How long do you have your head under water? Surely you can go a little while without listening to music? I like eating but wouldn't even think about doing that in the bath.
