Caution: Avoid Potential Hearing Loss - LG 8560 User Manual

Caution:
Avoid potential hearing
loss.
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 cellular telephones, 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 other potential
hearing problems varies.
The amount of sound produced
by a portable audio device varies
depending on the nature of the
sound, the device, the device
settings and the headphones.
You should follow some
commonsense recommendations
when using any portable audio
device:
Set the volume in a quiet
G
environment and select the
lowest volume at which you
can hear adequately.
When using headphones, turn
G
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
G
block out noisy surroundings.
If you choose to listen to your
portable device in a noisy
environment, use noise-
