TUAW Tip: Setting Volume Limits
As you're certainly aware (unless you've been living in denial, by which we do not mean the river in Egypt), prolonged exposure to loud sounds can permanently damage your hearing. If you've just bought or received your first iPod, you may not yet be aware of the built-in volume limiter that allows you to set a maximum playback level for your unit. The idea is to protect your hearing as well as that of any child who might have access to your iPod. For non-shuffle iPods, choose Volume Limit from the main Settings menu. Choose a maximum volume, and click the Center button and then click Done. (Optionally, you can enter a combination to prevent your kids, spouses, pets, or imaginary friends from changing the maximum volume.) For iPod shuffles, you can set the maximum volume in iTunes itself.
