Maybe its 30 minutes?
Now, I want you to think about how often youve noticed that your music is too loud.
According toa studyin 2019, many of you will probably answer never.
Without much awareness of the music volume for that many hours, AirPods could lead to hearing loss.
Harmful noise levels
A sounds loudness is measured in decibels (dB).
If you are outside, the average normal conversation is around 60dB.
Loud sound can overwork these hair cells.
A classic example to explain this phenomenon is a live concert.
After leaving such a loud event, people tend to notice that they dont hear as well.
With repetition, this eventually leads to a permanent hearing problem.
A noisy coffee shop is about 75dB and a noisy subway platform is about 80dB.
You do the math both can lead people to turn up their volume over the recommended value of 85dB.
However, earbuds like AirPods send sound directly in the ear.
In short, many people are not following the recommended guideline of 85dB.
Who cares, you may be thinking, it doesnt apply to me.
As the parent company of the leading earbud technology, Apple has the responsibility to solve this problem.
In fact, a detailed analysis of sound level is accessible through iOS 13s Health App for iPhone.
Its important to personalize the notifications based on the user journey.
you’re able to read more about it below.
I also investigated the UX of Apple Watch and Fitbits health-related notifications.
Pros:
Cons:
2.
I came up with two sound designs, to which I picked the latter for its ubiquity and succinctness.
The problem of Idea 2 is that the user is notified but is unable to take action.
You will hear a sound it indicates that you have exceeded the recommended audio level of 85dB.
I mocked the design using Figma and showed the flow to my friends and family.
Hes either finding user needs to work on or searching for what anime to watch next.
