Regarding to the problem of hearing loss due to loud music played on iPod, good news to parents as well as all iPod music lovers released from Apple on Wednesday (via Reuters). A software for iPod users can get the software upgrade as a free download from www.apple.com/ipod/download. Surely, it’s a better solution than getting well-designed headphones as a remedy.

Apple Computer Inc. said on Wednesday it introduced a software update for its market-leading iPod that lets parents set maximum volume limits on the device, as concerns grow that loud music played through earphones might risk hearing loss.

The software update, which is available as a free download for the iPod nano and fifth generation iPod, gives users the ability to set volume caps on the iPod and lock it with a combination code, Apple said.
