By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

The 60-60 rule is a hearing protection guideline recommending users listen to audio devices at no more than 60% volume for a maximum of 60 minutes at a time. This rule, supported by organizations like the World Health Organization and Mayo Clinic, aims to prevent permanent hearing loss from prolonged exposure to loud sounds. Many modern devices, including AirPods, can reach dangerously high decibel levels, potentially causing irreversible damage to delicate cochlear hair cells. AI
