Hearing safety

 

Listen at a moderate volume.

•  Using headphones at a high volume can 

impair your hearing. This product can 

produce sounds in decibel ranges that may 

cause hearing loss for a normal person,

even for exposure less than a minute. The 

higher decibel ranges are offered for those 

that may have already experienced some 

hearing loss.

•  Sound can be deceiving. Over time your 

hearing 'comfort level' adapts to higher 

volumes of sound. So after prolonged 

listening, what sounds 'normal' can actually

be loud and harmful to your hearing. To 

guard against this, set your volume to a safe

level before your hearing adapts and leave 

it there.

To establish a safe volume level:

•  Set your volume control at a low setting. 

•  Slowly increase the sound until you can 

hear it comfortably and clearly, without

distortion.

Listen for reasonable periods of time:

•  Prolonged exposure to sound, even

at normally 'safe' levels, can also cause

hearing loss.

•  Be sure to use your equipment reasonably 

and take appropriate breaks.

Be sure to observe the following guidelines 

when using your headphones.

•  Listen at reasonable volumes for 

reasonable periods of time.

•  Be careful not to adjust the volume as your 

hearing adapts.

•  Do not turn up the volume so high that 

you can't hear what's around you.

•  You should use caution or temporarily 

discontinue use in potentially hazardous 

situations.
