<\/p>\nLong gone are the days of ghetto blasters and monster speakers\u2014now we pump music directly into our eardrums with EarPods and AirPods. Noise-induced hearing loss is a real problem, though, with millions of people damaging their hearing by playing music too loud, sometimes inadvertently. Happily, iOS can help protect your ears, and those of your loved ones. Navigate to Settings > Music > Volume Limit and lower the slider. If you\u2019re doing this for a child, you can prevent them from changing it in Settings > General > Restrictions > Volume Limit > Don\u2019t Allow Changes. This requires first setting a Restrictions passcode that only you know.<\/p>\n
