Listening Precautions
Do not listen to your earphones or headphones at a high volume.
Hearing expert advice against continuous extended play.
Excessive volume through earphones and headphones can cause
hearing loss.
If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or discontinue
use.
Do not use while operating a motorized vehicle. It may create a traffic
hazard and is illegal in many areas.
You should use extreme caution or temporarily discontinue use in
potentially hazardous situations created by obstructed hearing.
Even if your headphones or earphones are the open-air type designed
to let you hear outside sounds, don’t turn up the volume so high that
you can’t hear what’s around you.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing ―comfort level‖
adapts to higher volumes of sound. What sounds ―normal‖ can actually
be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting the
volume of your device at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe volume level:
a. Start your volume control at a low setting.
b. Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and
clearly, and without distortion. Once you have established a
comfortable sound level, leave it there.
