If you choose to listen to your
portable device in a noisy
environment, use noise-
cancelling headphones to block
out background environmental
noise.
Limit the amount of time you
●
listen. As the volume increases,
less time is required before your
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.
Do not listen at any volume
●
that causes you discomfort.
If you experience ringing in
your ears, hear muffled speech
or experience any temporary
hearing difficulty after listening
to your portable audio device,
discontinue use and consult your
doctor.
