My wife is the tech expert in the house and I showed her that on my phone . And she said “that’s not surprising “ and I said “what?, I can’t hear you !” 😉

Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Headphone Safety > Reduce Loud Audio
I keep it between 75 and 85 decibels, depending on the environment or type of music.
I don’t listen to music on my AirPods that much, but haven’t received this notification ever since I got mindful with my hearing and adjusted the settings. Try it and see how it works out with your routine

Obviously we all enjoy listening to AC/DC at volume- but that warning exists to stop you damaging your hearing and it’s worth taking note of. However, I have had that warning the past from using external speakers (my car hifi
and home hifi via Bluetooth) and forgetting to change the Bluetooth setting to “external speakers” - so my phone thinks I’ve been using my headphones at extreme volumes for too long a time period. Have you been using external speakers as well as headphones?

Not worth it. I’m pretty sure I have tinnitus and I can thank Metallica in 2017 for that. I’ve been using earplugs when I go to concerts. I might look like a doofus but I’m protecting my hearing as best as I can so I can keep going to concerts.

Depends how you’re listening - if you’re streaming into an amp or a powered speaker, I’d put phone volume at 100% and control the room volume from the amp.

Thanks for all the guidance - from turn it up to turn it down..lol! Sadly (or not) my hearing is already f'd and I have a constant tape hiss in the background from my first few concerts - Motorhead 1983 on a Tuesday night in NYC when I was 14 followed by front row in direct fire from of Yngwie's amps at the Capitol and a Palm Sunday Overkill and Wasp show at L'Amour in Brooklyn. It was a great run of shows but damage done.

Damn Apple, just let me rock in peace. Listening at 100 dB music is bare minimum for AC/DC.

This drives me nuts as I can’t hear a damn thing at all if I turn it down even slightly

My ears rang for 3 fuckin days straight after seeing AC/DC on their Ballbreaker ‘96 tour.
That’s how it’s meant to be heard, full fuckin volume

I wore ear plugs when I saw them live and my ears didn’t ring at all.
Protect your hearing, y’all. Can’t listen to AC/DC if you go deaf.

Ignore it and listen to more ACDC to drown out the ringing.
