headphones that are used. As a result, there is no single
volume setting that is appropriate for everyone or for
every combination of sound, settings, and equipment.
You should follow some common sense recommendations
when using any portable audio device:
•
Always turn the volume down before plugging the earphones
into an audio source.
•
Set the volume in a quiet environment and select the lowest
volume at which you can hear adequately.
•
Be aware that you can adapt to higher volume settings over
time, not realizing that the higher volume may be harmful to
your hearing.
•
When using headphones, turn the volume down if you cannot
hear the people speaking near you or if the person sitting next
to you can hear what you are listening to.
•
Do not turn the volume up to block out noisy surroundings. If
you choose to listen to your portable device in a noisy
environment, use noise-cancelling headphones to block out
background environmental noise. By blocking background
environment noise, noise cancelling headphones should allow
you to hear the music at lower volumes than when using
earbuds.
•
Limit the amount of time you listen. As the volume increases,
less time is required before you hearing could be affected.
•
Avoid using headphones after exposure to extremely loud
noises, such as rock concerts, that might cause temporary
hearing loss. Temporary hearing loss might cause unsafe
volumes to sound normal.
