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.
