about high volume usage

The louder the sound, the less time is required before your hearing could be affected. To protect your hearing:

• Limit the amount of time you use headsets or headphones at high volume.
• Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
• Turn the volume down if you can't hear people speaking near you.

If you experience hearing discomfort, including the sensation of pressure or fullness in your ears, ringing
in your ears or muffled speech, you should stop listening to the device through your headset or
headphones and have your hearing checked.
