Avoid Potential Hearing Loss

Note: Excessive sound pressure from earphones can
cause 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,
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 sounds, the device, the device setting and the
headphones. You should follow some commonsense
recommendations when using any portable audio device:
• Set the volume in a quiet environment and select
the lowest volume at which you can hear adequately.
• 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
surrounding. If you choose to listen to your portable
device in a noisy environment, use noise-cancelling
headphone to block out background environmental
noise.
• Limit the amount of time you listen. As the volume
increase, less time is required before your hearing
could be affected.
• Avoid using headphones after exposure to extremely
loud noises, such as music 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.
