Apple Launching Automatic Volume Control iPod & iPhone

Rumor has it that Apple is Launching an iPod with automatic volume control, designed to calculate the user’s length of listening time and noise level, gradually reducing the volume as necessary. The Daily Mail reports that Apple owns a patent for the technology. According to the report, the patent reads: "Since the damaging effect on users' hearing is both gradual and cumulative, even those users who are concerned about hearing loss may not behave in a manner that would limit or minimise such damaging effects."
