Safety
The amount of sound produced by a
portable audio device varies
depending on the nature of the sound,
the device, the device settings and
the headphones. You should follow
some commonsense
recommendations when using any
portable audio device:
●
Set the volume in a quiet
environment and select the lowest
volume at which you can hear
adequately.
●
When using headphones, turn the
volume down if you cannot hear
the people speaking near you or if
the person sitting next to you can
hear what you are listening to.
●
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.
