This is becoming an issue as I teach fitness classes because my music is being turned down in the middle of a group fitness class. Can someone please help

So Apple keep removing or editing my posts here claiming it contains advertising. I guess they don’t want people to know their measurements are not accurate and how you can work around their intrusions.

So I’ll try to use no links and go under the radar.

If you want to work around this search the web for “The Occasional Tech Blog nadnosliw” and you’ll find a blog with a post detailing how to use a Shortcut as a work around. The blog owner gets no income from people visiting the posts. So don’t cry Apple and Apple fans.

As far as I know there is nothing you can do about this. It is a bad implementation od a feature designed to protect your hearing as it assumes you are using headphones, not an external speaker. See: Headphone notifications on your iPhone, iPod touch, or Apple Watch - https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211903

Send feedback to apple here: Feedback - iPod touch - Apple https://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodtouch.html

You can use a Shortcut to add audio exposure notifications with negative dB values. This offsets the values the Health app logs. I've been using one for a about a week now and no notifications yet!

I'm in the process of putting together a blog post detailing:

1. The Health app's measurements are inaccurate
2. This audio monitoring is a privacy intrusion with no opt out.
3. How to defeat the notifications with a Shortcut.

I just bought an ipod 7th gen for my car and am going to return it because of this issue ALONE. $20 on a cheap android and you'll still have access to a headphone jack and your Apple music. That's what I'm going to do. $300 is a lot of cash to spend on something that doesn't do what you bought it for in the first place.

I will be returning the one I just got 2 days ago as well. I have an iPod classic and purchased the iPod Touch for the built in Bluetooth but if I can't use my Bluetooth accessories as I choose what is the point? I'll just go back to my iPod classic with the Bluetooth Transmitter / Receiver. Save myself some bucks! ;)
