Headphone safety

until this is sorted out (or not) you can try turning on the Reduce Loud Sounds in Headphone Safety and limit it to say 75dB and use the volume on the radio to get the sound level you want. You should not get ahead of the 7 day limit

Settings, Sounds and Haptics,

Well new to 14.2 in the sense that the 7 day limit can no longer be turned off in many countries.

Since ios14 it is managed in the Health app so each night you could also delete the health app data provided you keep below 85ish. At 90dB (or so the phone thinks) you only get 4 hours anyway

These are the limits

Thank you Apple for turning down the music when i’m in the shower. I love not being able to hear my music(: It’s so amazing when I buy a speaker to play music when I am doing things and you automatically turn down my music when I didn’t want you to, I really appreciate it!(: When I am working on a project and you turn it down to the point where I can barely hear it, that also makes me really happy(:

Update to 14.4 today

Thank god because this was making me insane while driving the past couple of days. I need to hear my gps and I have my music loud to make sure I am constantly sensory stimulated and also because google even on loud setting and even the Apple Maps on loudest setting are too quiet to hear most of the time. So I’m driving in ice rain, snow flakes the size of bulldozers, and heavy downpours from Minnesota to South Carolina and every ten minutes I’m having to reach out, take my hand off the wheel, and dismiss the notification because it covers the map for one since the pro max is too big to stand up and has to be on its side to be on the dash mount or I get an obstructed view ticket! And then I have to turn the volume back up. I thought Apple had a safety obsession! This headphone safety bull before the update which I will try out tomorrow on the last leg of the journey, causes a huge distracted driving issue!!! Morons.
