How Wearable Tech Is Monitoring Your Hearing Health

In this episode of The Wearable Tech Podcast, Lucas and Luna explore how smartwatches and earbuds are tracking noise exposure and hearing health in real time. They discuss the WHO's 1.5 billion people at risk statistic, Apple's Hearing Study data from 2024, and how on-device microphones measure sound levels in decibels. The hosts examine early warning features for unsafe listening environments and compare thresholds like 85 decibels over eight hours. They also touch on the emerging trend of prescription-grade hearing aid integration with consumer wearables, referencing the 2022 FDA ruling that opened over-the-counter hearing aids. Practical tips for using your current device to protect your ears are included. #HearingHealth #NoiseExposure #WearableTech #Smartwatch #Earbuds #DecibelMonitoring #AppleHearingStudy #WHO #HearingLoss #OTCHearingAids #FDA #LoudNoise #Tinnitus #HealthTech #Technology #Podcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
