  "title": "Characterizing In-the-Wild Personal Listening Device Use to Inform Earable Application Design",
  "summary": "Ear-worn devices are evolving from audio-playback tools into sensing platforms for health, interaction, and context-awareness. Yet, earable systems are typically designed and evaluated under strong assumptions about how long, how often, and in which situations people actually wear personal listening devices (PLDs). To ground these assumptions in-the-wild behavior, we combine a survey of 330 adults with multi-year, passively logged headphone audio-exposure records donated via Apple Health by 90 o",
