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.
