varies depending on the nature of the sound, the device settings, and the
headphones that are used. As a result, there is no single volume setting
that is appropriate for everyone or for every combination of sound,
settings, and equipment.
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.
