Abstract
An audio dose monitoring circuit includes: a sound level measuring circuit arranged to operably generate multiple sound level values, wherein the multiple sound level values respectively correspond to the sound levels generated by an audio playback device at multiple time points or the sound levels received by a microphone at multiple time points; an audio dose calculating circuit coupled with the sound level measuring circuit and arranged to operably generate an audio dose value corresponding to a measuring period based on the multiple sound level values and contents of a weighting table; a control circuit coupled with the audio dose calculating circuit and arranged to operably compare the audio dose value with a dose threshold to determine whether to generate a control signal or not; and an indication signal generating circuit coupled with the control circuit and arranged to operably generate a corresponding indication signal according to the control signal.
