It’s important to be aware of how loud the environment can be and the potentially harmful effects on your hearing, and your Apple Watch can help.
Have you ever been in a noisy place, like a concert, and wondered if it was safe for your hearing? You can gauge how safe (or not safe) your listening levels are when using the Apple Watch, which is one of the best smartwatches out there. Getting specifics about ambient sound levels may prompt you to leave a situation or even use a pair of the best headphones to mask out some of the loud noises. Or maybe you want to use the information to determine if the setting is safe for a young child with more sensitive hearing. Whatever the reason, it’s one great Apple Watch feature that you can call up at any time. You can also set the clock to send notifications when decibel levels are identified as being at a level that could negatively affect your hearing.
How to monitor safe hearing levels with your Apple Watch
- open the Noise application on Apple Watch.
- handle maybe to turn it on if it is not already on.
- Anytime you want to measure the noise level in a specific place, Open the app And wait to read. There’s also a noise complication you can add to the Apple Watch face if that’s the primary concern you want to monitor 24/7.
- To receive notifications whenever the volume is identified as high, go to settings on Apple Watch.
- go to Noise.
- He chooses environmental sound measurements.
- around on By clicking on the right side of the bar. Then go back to the previous page.
- He chooses Noise notifications.
- He chooses desired barrierl you want to receive a notification about. You can choose from 80dB, 85dB, 90dB, 95dB and 100dB.
- You will now Receive notification If the noise levels reach this limit.
The Noise app indicates the noise level in decibels (dB) and alerts below it if this is fine (below 80dB) or high (above 80dB, after which repeated and long-term exposure can affect your hearing). Under Loud, you’ll see what listening at certain levels can do after certain periods of time. For example, listening to noise for 5.5 hours a day at 80 decibels may cause temporary hearing loss.
You also get helpful tips, including the recommended amount of time to listen to audio at this level (no more than 40 hours per week) so that it doesn’t negatively affect your hearing.
As you move up the list to sounds above 90dB, you can get a sense of the effect repeated exposure has on your hearing, even after just a few minutes of listening at that level.
Keep in mind that water and wind can affect the results. This may be especially true for Apple Watch Ultra owners, who often participate in outdoor sports and extreme sports. But even with a standard Apple Watch Series 8, I’ll sometimes get a loud notification on my watch while I’m in the shower.
The Noise app inside the Apple Watch uses the Watch’s microphones to sample and measure sound, but it’s important to note that none of these sounds are recorded or saved to the device or your Apple account.
