Listening Safely

PHONES To protect your hearing, follow these
guidelines when you use earphones or
headphones.
• Set the volume to the lowest setting
before you begin listening. After you
begin listening, adjust the volume to
a comfortable level.
• Do not listen at extremely high vol-
ume levels. Extended high-volume
listening can lead to permanent
hearing loss.
• Once you set the volume, do not
increase it. Over time, your ears
adapt to the volume level, so a vol-
ume level that does not cause dis-
comfort might still damage your
hearing.

Traffic Safety

Do not wear earphones or headphones
while operating a motor vehicle or riding
a bicycle. This can create a traffic haz-
ard and could be illegal in some areas.
Even though some earphones and
headphones let you hear some outside
sounds when listening at normal volume
levels, they still can present a traffic haz-
ard.
