A method for monitoring and reporting sound pressure level exposure for a user of a first communication device () is implemented in one embodiment when the device measures a sound pressure level (SPL) of the surrounding environment. The device stores at least the SPL measurement in a memory, producing an SPL exposure record, and displays a visual representation of the SPL exposure record on a display screen (). In another embodiment, the SPL is measured by a second communication device () and combined with a known SPL for an output audio transducer () of the second device, producing a user sound exposure level. The user sound exposure level is transmitted to the first communication device. The user is notified when the user sound exposure level exceeds a predetermined threshold. A server () may also be used to track SPLs over time and recommend corrective action when exposure limits are exceeded.
