Turning off hearing protection...How?!?

Hello guys!

After the last update i’ve discovered that Apple implemented the hearing protection, wich is the most anoying thing on this device.

Basically my volume gets automatically to less than a half, when i am listening to music.

Is there any fix?

sorry for my english!

thanks!

iPhone XS Max, iOS 14

This is the most absurd thing I’ve ever had happened to my phone! I’m in construction listening to my music on a Bluetooth speaker on the back end of my Lift 35 feet up in the air. I have to keep reaching for my phone to turn the volume back on because of cranes diesel engines loud banging noises this update was ridiculous and cannot be controlled! It’s more dangerous for me to keep reaching for my phone to turn the volume up and actually allow me to listen to it!

Hello guys,

i’m here with an update.

with ios 14.4 you can classify the Bluetooth type of everyone.

Basically you have to go Setting - Bluetooth, select “i” and then choose how to classify the bluetooth device.

This should work and the volume won’t lower again!

thanks Apple for this, you avoided my car to crash because of raising up the volume!
