Last 6 Months

Listening to audio on your headphones too loud for too long can damage your hearing. Headphone Notifications let you know if your audio exposure has been loud enough for long enough to affect your hearing—for example, over 80 decibels (dB) for 40 hours total within the last 7 days.

Your iPhone can now alert you when you’ve exceeded 100% of the 7-day exposure limit while wearing headphones. These notifications give you more awareness around your listening habits to help you protect your hearing. When you receive a notification, you’ll be prompted to turn down your volume. After receiving a notification, the next time you plug in your headphones or connect them via Bluetooth, your volume will be automatically set to a lower level. You can still turn your volume back up if you choose.

On this graph you can see how many times in each month you’ve had your headphones too loud for too long.
