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.
