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.
To establish a safe volume level:
•
Set your volume control at a low setting.
•
Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably
and clearly, without distortion.
Listen for reasonable periods of time:
•
Prolonged exposure to sound, even at normally 'safe'
levels, can also cause hearing loss.
•
Be sure to use your equipment reasonably and take
appropriate breaks.
Be sure to observe the following guidelines when using your
headphones.
•
Listen at reasonable volumes for reasonable periods of
time.
•
Be careful not to adjust the volume as your hearing adapts.
•
Do not turn up the volume so high that you can't hear
what's around you.
