New Headphone Notifications
Apple’s been on an ongoing journey to make the usage of headphones safer in the long run. First, the Noise app on the Apple Watch was meant to protect your hearing from outside noise, and now you can protect your hearing from headphones with Headphone Notifications.
Headphones Notifications is a new Accessibility feature that will notify you if you’ve been listening to too many loud sounds with your headphones for an extended period of time. This will help you prevent any permanent damage if you’re someone who’s constantly using headphones.
Here’s how to enable Headphone Notifications from your Apple Watch:
- Press the Digital Crown on your Apple Watch.
- Tap on the Settings icon.
- Scroll down and select Accessibility.
- Scroll almost all the way down and toggle Headphone Notifications on.
You can also do it from your iPhone by going to the Watch app, tapping on Accessibility, and turning Headphone Notifications on.
