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.
