Hearing Saver

Set default volume for headsets
NOTE: This app is no longer maintained, its repo was archived.

Hearing Saver operates in the background to protect your ears from high volumes
through bluetooth or analogue headsets. When you first install or update this
app, you MUST open it at least once!

After the initial setup, Hearing Saver should work without further input from
you. To setup the app, open it. You will be presented with the Setup screen. It
contains a number of controls, and they each interact to allow you to customize
Hearing Saver’s operation. They include defaults for ringers and media, plugging
and unplugging and to remember last volume.

Versions

Although APK downloads are available below to give you the choice, you should be aware that by installing that way you will not receive update notifications and it's a less secure way to download. We recommend that you install the F-Droid client and use that.
