Save your ears by constantly lowering the volume in the background

Windows Ear Saver

Gradually lower windows volume to potentially save your ears when you're too focused on things to do it yourself when loud music starts playing. A hello world for myself to test go and to make an experiment.

Warning

Unresearched, may actually contribute to hearing damage instead of preventing it.

Build

go build -ldflags "-H windowsgui"
