Put a limit on the volume
Set a ceiling on how loud headphones can get, and have it hold.
Headphones sit against the ear, so sound that seems ordinary is louder than it feels. Hearing lost that way stays lost.
Phones can cap the volume, and the cap holds even at the top of the slider.
Key points
- Headphones are louder than they feel, sitting against the ear
- A volume limit holds even at the top of the slider
What to remember
- Set once, it holds every day after.
- Keeping noise out beats turning the volume up.
