Hearing safety
Listen at a moderate volume:
To establish a safe volume level:
• 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.
•
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 with caution or temporarily
discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.
Do not use headphones while operating a motorized
vehicle, cycling, skateboarding, etc.; it may create a
traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.
