Cleaning the headset

for electronics, and gently wipe the headset clean.
Do not expose this product to liquid (water, alcohol,
etc.) or submerse in liquid for any reason.
Avoiding hearing damage
Using any headset or earbud at too high a volume can
cause permanent hearing damage. To reduce the risk
of hearing damage:
Set the volume at the minimum level needed to
hear in the current environment. If possible, use
your headset in quiet surroundings or try to move to
an area with less background noise before adjusting
the volume.
Start with the volume at its lowest setting, then
gradually increase it until you can hear.

Turn the volume down before powering off the
headset and readjust the volume each time you
turn it on.
If someone next to you can hear the other end of the
call through your headset or if your ears hurt or ring
when you hang up, the volume is too high.
The longer your ears are exposed to noise, the
greater the risk of damage. Limit calls at higher
volumes (or other exposure to loud noise).

visit the WISE EARS® website ( www.nidcd.nih.
