My iPhone has started to turn down my sound to "protect my hearing". How to turn it off?
If there isn't a way make the way, because I'm not going to get another a separate device to just listen to music? Why was this even implemented? Do I really need to buy a new phone?

Same issue here - incredibly irritating as I’m a) quite deaf and b) a professional musician currently using my phone as a recording booth...
I may have found a solution - it’s actually to turn ‘reduce loud sounds’ ON and set the decibel level to maximum (100db - which is still less than a french horn at full tilt 18 inches from my right ear. No I can’t move - it’s the one I’m playing!)
I wish Apple would stop trying to be a nanny and allow us to make our own decisions about stuff like this.

That doesn't work. My iPhone has no way of telling how loud I am listening and still turns down the volume constantly. Is there nothing I can do?
Dude, you are a genius. This has been getting on my nerves for weeks. Thank you so much
Really pleased to be able to help! It's been driving me mad too!!!
This feature is the worst. It’s so bad I assumed they’re trolling us so someone can create click bait articles about it.
Boggles: You are a true hero, thanks a lot.

Same here. I’m using bluetooth transmitter in my car and I need to push the volume buttons while I’m driving to get the volume back. It’s the opposite of safety.
I'd forgotten about that bloomin' U2 album...
Let it be a option, not an commitment..
Same issue here playing music through a stereo with a Bluetooth receiver. Apple need to add the ability to categorise Bluetooth devices to get around this.
Same here - thank you
i wish it was! 🙆🏼♂️
I certainly agree with this, these kinds of things / options must remain a free choice and no imposition at all times of humanity!
Fear not comrade. 14.4 i saving point for us all :)
hurrah for 14.4! ...Apple have listened (pun intended)
although be nice to set bluetooth device type/name without it having to be connected ...got 2 cars & 6 speakers to set
You can disable this stupidity now??? How? Where??? Cant find it. Its driving me nuts
