  • Publication number: 20220225048
    Abstract: A method and system for managing a user sound exposure are described herein. The method includes collecting raw audio data, calculating spectral data and a sound pressure level (SPL) from the raw audio data, comparing the calculated SPL to a predetermined threshold level of sound exposure, and applying one or more modifications to the SPL in response to a determination that the SPL is approaching the predetermined threshold level of sound exposure to ensure the SPL never reaches the predetermined threshold level of sound exposure.
