How can I protect my hearing ? (alien.top)

For reference, I’m 19 and I’ve just ordered a pair of sennheiser momentum 4s. I want to know what I can do to protect my ears as much as possible. I put my iPhone volume capacity at 75dbs and only put my headphones at about 95% volume at that rate, but I heard it’s not entirely accurate and some songs can still go over the limit

I want to say I’m completely new to this and an absolute amateur but I would be very thankful and appreciative of any help

You can use any official apple or beats earphones to find out the listening volume in the health app. It'll give you an idea of what a safe volume sounds like and then you can listen at that loudness on your other headphones

This is what i use. I’m not sure if it’s entirely accurate but i’d assume so?

Anyways, i check how loud i listen with my airpods, then try and match that volume with my iems (just by listening to it)
