What Is Headphone Safety on Your iPhone?
iPhones are entertainment devices. So, with the release of iOS 14, Apple introduced a new feature to protect our ears from the consistent barrage of loud sounds through the headphones or Bluetooth speakers we use to listen to any media on the iPhone. Headphone Safety is enabled by default on any phone with iOS 14 onwards. The feature automatically measures the audio levels on your iPhone and then reduces any sound set over a specific decibel threshold. The default level is 85 decibels which is as loud as heavy city traffic or a food blender. Apple has included this feature to limit your exposure to loud sounds. Also, iOS excludes phone call volume in analyzing these sound levels.
How Do I Stop My iPhone From Turning Headphone Volume Down?
The iPhone manages sudden volume spikes with the help of the Headphone Safety feature. Any volume above the default volume level or set manually by you on the slider is automatically reduced. But there may be instances when you don’t want the iPhone to turn the volume down automatically. For example, when you listen to music via Bluetooth speakers in your car or are hearing impaired.
