Mrs B is trying to listen to a 'relaxing' podcast (?) from her I Pad through her bluetooth headband https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CQJBBJM8?
Sadly, what she's listening to isn't loud enough for her to hear, even when on max volume.
Any bright ideas or does she just need to find something louder?

    Is the volume tuned up on both the headband and the iPad?

    I use JBL bluetooth headphones and don't have any volume issues, but mine wouldn't be suitable for wearing in bed.

    The EU imposed a limit on headphone volume, so there's a "Headphone Safety" feature in iPadOS. Go to Settings > Sounds > Headphone Safety. Toggle Reduce Loud Audio off to disable the volume limit or adjust the slider to allow higher volumes.

    The danger with this is the risk of hearing damage. Has your wife had a hearing test recently?
