You should follow some common sense
recommendations when using any portable audio
device:
•
Always turn the volume down before plugging the earphones
into an audio source.
•
Set the volume in a quiet environment and select the lowest
volume at which you can hear adequately.
•
Be aware that you can adapt to higher volume settings over
time, not realizing that the higher volume may be harmful to
your hearing.
•
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. By blocking background
environment noise, noise cancelling headphones should
allow you to hear the music at lower volumes than when
using earbuds.
•
Limit the amount of time you listen. As the volume increases,
less time is required before you 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.
