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.
