Apple has prided itself on always being one-up on competition when it comes to being innovative with their technology. Their latest concern is for their consumers and the fact that they could be slowly going deaf. Since most people listen to music on their iPods at full volume on a consistent basis, experts have stated that prolonged exposure to loud music could ultimately lead to hearing loss. This would undoubtedly lead to a loss in sales of iPods and other music players alike naturally. Apple has decided to take a stand on the situation by developing a system wherein your iPod would not only work as your health partner with the likes of the Nike + system but it would also try to ensure that you simply don’t go deaf. The system Apple intends to initiate is an automatic volume adjuster. How it would work is, after a awhile of listening to your iPod or iPhone at full volume the device would automatically begin to reduce the volume to a safer level. According to the Daily Mail, the iPod can reach decibel levels of 100 which may be good in a noisy city like ours, but in reality the safest volume recommended for your ears is 70 decibels or less. |
