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.
Set your volume control at a low setting. •
Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably •
and clearly, without distortion.
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.
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.
