In this year’s iOS 13 release for iPhone and watchOS 6 for Apple Watch, Apple is implementing a pair of new hearing features, designed to help you prevent exposing yourself to loud environments and headphones levels for extended periods of time.
Here’s how both of those new features work.
Headphone Audio Level
In iOS 13, you can now view audio levels from the headphones you use. Apple categorizes your headphone volume levels into two decibel levels: “OK” to “Loud.”
How can you find this data? On your iPhone running iOS 13, open the Health app and select the “Search” tab along the bottom. You should then see a new “Hearing” option, select that and look for “Headphone Audio Levels.”
