Issue:

Have you ever heard this……that you possess the music system and your neighbors having its remote control? Similar is the idea of Apple appears to me to have an auto controlling volume control within the iPod.

According to one of the reports it was suggested that most of the iPod users plug in their iPods at loud volume. On which experts have stated that prolonged exposure to loud music could ultimately lead to hearing loss. Acting on this Apple has decided to take a stand on the situation by developing a system wherein your iPod would act as a health partner, it would automatically reduce the volume level of your iPod to a safer level after certain period of hearing the music at loud level.

Belief:

I believe it is a step which could reduce the sales of iPod because I think it will be really annoying as in to reduce the music level while one is listening to a song. I think what Apple could do instead of this is that they may issue an warning or cautious note where in they can inform the iPod user to hear the music at a stipulated volume. Or they can provide in with 2 modes one for auto health and other without it.

No! Sometimes I'll be listening to music at a loud volume and my mom will walk in and turn it down to a "normal" volume and I'll hardly be able to hear it because I was used to hearing it so loud. Sure it can damage your ears if you listen to it really loud for long periods of time, but people should already know that. Sometimes I think that I can't get my Ipod loud enough(such as on a bus when the overhead radio is already on pretty loud) and if it kept dropping, I'd really be listening to two songs at once which can be VERY annoying.

it would annoy me if the volume of my ipod kept dropping, what if your in a loud room and you need the music louder, if it keeps dropping you wont be able to hear it so it will just be annoying to keep ajusting it

So I'm working out, listening to music which is strapped to my arm, and I'm going to have to try to make adjustments on a regular interval. But then, I don't play my ipod loud. I can tell you I have to repeat things to my husband hours after he has had his headphones on. Makes me crazy so I see the need.

Maybe it can be an option.
