Track headphone and environmental sound-level exposure in Health on iPhone
Use the Health app 
to view exposure levels for headphone audio and sounds captured by Apple Watch.
Collect headphone audio levels
Connect AirPods, EarPods, and other compatible headphones to your iPhone. The headphone audio levels are automatically sent to Health.
To help improve the accuracy of headphone audio measurements for third-party Bluetooth devices, you should classify them as headphones, speakers, or other devices (iOS 14.4 or later). See Classify your Bluetooth device.
Note: Measurements are most accurate when using Apple or Beats headphones. Audio played through other headphones can be estimated based on the volume of your iPhone.
View Headphone Notifications for loud headphone audio
If you listen to headphone audio for long enough at a volume that could affect your hearing, you can get a notification and have the volume automatically turned down to protect your hearing (iOS 14.2 or later).
To get notifications for loud headphone audio, go to Settings
> Sounds & Haptics > Headphone Safety, then turn on Headphone Notifications.Note: Depending on your country or region, Headphone Notifications may be turned on by default, and in some countries or regions, you may not be able to turn off Headphone Notifications.
To view the details for a notification, tap Browse at the bottom right of the Health screen, tap Hearing, tap Headphone Notifications, then tap the notification.
View Noise Notifications for loud environmental sounds
When you pair Apple Watch with your iPhone and set up the Noise app on Apple Watch, environmental sound levels are automatically sent from Apple Watch to Health. You can then get a notification from Apple Watch on your iPhone when noise reaches a level that might affect your hearing. (watchOS 6 or later required; Apple Watch sold separately.)
Tap Browse at the bottom right, then tap Hearing.
Tap Noise Notifications, then tap a notification to see more details.
