Caution! Avoid potential hearing loss.
Damage to hearing occurs when a 
person is exposed to loud sounds over 
time. The risk of hearing loss increases 
as sound is played louder and for longer 
durations. Prolonged exposure to loud 
sounds (including music) is the most 
common cause of preventable hearing 
loss. Some scientific research suggests 
that using portable audio devices, such 
as portable music players and cell 
phones, at high volume settings for long 
durations may lead to permanent 
noise-induced hearing loss. 
This includes the use of headphones 
(including headsets, earbuds, and 
Bluetooth
®
 or other wireless devices). 
Exposure to very loud sound has also 
been associated in some studies with 
tinnitus (a ringing in the ear), 
hypersensitivity to sound, and distorted 
hearing. Individual susceptibility to 
noise-induced hearing loss and potential 
hearing problem varies. Additionally, the 
amount of sound produced by a portable 
audio device varies depending on the
