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