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.
