Why Set a Safe iPod Volume Limit?
Setting a safe volume limit for your iPod is important because it reduces your risk of developing irreversible Noise Induced Hearing Loss.
Extended exposure to sounds over 85 decibels can cause hearing damage and your iPod can produce sounds over 105 decibels! That's why you should limit your exposure to dangerous levels of sound by setting your iPod Volume Limiter and be aware of how long you listen.
Check the chart below to see how long and how loud you can listen to your iPod before you reach hazardous levels of sound.
