I found it! I tried looking yesterday, but it still had a countdown. It looks like the Fairphone 5 is announced!

Not too different than an old iPad, or maybe it was an iPod, used to do to me, when I'd listen for a while then it would just get quiet and I'd see that the screen had a volume warning on it.
Not new in general, but still good and valuable that it's being implemented more.

The bigger hitch/conundrum is getting people to care, on the personal/listener level, since, as we're aware, corporations profit off of us every second and would throw us all away if it earned them more money, so they're of course going to kinda half-ass the effort and let us keep letting our hearing systems go bad.
It doesn't help that under like 25 years old and you're still not really even perceiving the future as "real" yet.
