When It Just Can't Get Loud Enough
Setting the iPod's Volume Limit to 60-70% is obviously a good idea, but what about those times when even at full volume you can barely hear your iPod? Some situations are either too loud or too dangerous for listening to an iPod. That's why we recommend practicing situational volume awareness.
Loud Environments Make It Worse
In the battle for volume superiority between the bus, car, plane or train and your headphones, your ears always lose. By being able to identify what are hazardously loud sound levels and what are hazardously long exposure times, you can limit your risk of developing Noise Induced Hearing Loss. Remember, your iPod only increases the noise level you are exposed to.
