Caution: Avoid potential hearing loss
Prolonged exposure to loud sounds (including music)

is the most common cause of preventable hearing

loss. Some scientific research suggests that using

portable audio devices, such as portable music players

and cellular telephones, at high volume settings for

long durations, may lead to permanent noise-induced

hearing loss. This includes the use of head phones (inclu-

ding headsets, earbuds, and Bluetooth® or other wireless

devices). Exposure to very loud sound has also been

associated in some studies with tinnitus (a ringing in the

ear), hypersensitivity to sound, and distorted hearing.

Individual susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss

and other poten tial hearing problems varies.
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.
