Pulse
Hearing

Look after your ears, without anything listening.

Long hours in headphones add up. Pulse estimates your listening level from the system volume and shows how long you spent above 75 dB. Free, like everything else in Pulse.

How it works

  1. 1

    Reads the output level

    Pulse looks at how loud your PC is playing, not at what it’s playing.

  2. 2

    Estimates exposure

    It turns that level into an estimate of how loud it is for you.

  3. 3

    Flags long loud stretches

    Time above 75 dB is highlighted so you can turn it down.

What you get

  • Listening level estimated from system output
  • Time above 75 dB flagged
  • Never records audio, never touches the microphone
