in the absence of adequate ventilation
may result in discomfort or minor burns.
Therefore, use care when handling
98
your phone during or immediately after
operation.
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: 204 Safety
