Article: Apple is trying to save my hearing after I spent years ruining it

At this point, there are very few new iOS features that excite me.  This one caught me off guard, and I couldn’t be more excited!  I’ve been wearing professional ear plugs for years now (and often try to carry extras for friends), but I’m sure I’ve done plenty of damage in the past.  I’ll be curious to see how well I’m currently judging when I need them once this new OS rolls out!

 

"And really, that's all this feature is about: Highlighting those instances where you could've made a different decision. Those moments matter. Each time you blast music through your headphones for hours, you run the risk of permanently damaging the thousands of fine, hair-like cells that make hearing possible in the first place. No one is saying you should never crank up the proverbial dial and enjoy your media -- overdoing it isn't smart, though, and seeing your listening habits splayed out across a pretty graph makes it easy to understand when you're going overboard."
