• Do not turn the volume up to block out noisy surroundings. If you choose to listen to your
portable device in a noisy environment, use noise-cancelling headphones to block out
background environmental noise.
• Limit the amount of time you listen. As the volume increases, less time is required before
your hearing could be affected.
• Avoid using headphones after exposure to extremely loud noises, such as rock concerts, that
might cause temporary hearing loss. Temporary hearing loss might cause unsafe volumes to
sound normal.
• Do not listen at any volume that causes you discomfort. If you experience ringing in your
ears, hear muffled speech or experience any temporary hearing difficulty after listening to
your portable audio device, discontinue use and consult your doctor.
