Hearing Safety
Listen at a moderate volume:
Using headphones at a high volume can impair
your hearing. This product can produce
sounds in decibel ranges that may cause
hearing loss for a normal person, even for
exposure less than a minute. The higher
decibel ranges are offered for those that may
have already experienced some hearing loss.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your
hearing ‘comfort level’ adapts to higher
volumes of sound. So after prolonged listening,
what sounds ‘normal’ can actually be loud and
harmful to your hearing. To guard against this,
set your volume to a safe level before your
hearing adapts and leave it there.
To establish a safe volume level:
Set your volume control at a low setting.
Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it
comfortably and clearly, without distortion.
Listen for reasonable periods of time:
Prolonged exposure to sound, even at
normally ‘safe’ levels, can also cause hearing
loss.
Be sure to use your equipment reasonably and
take appropriate breaks.
Be sure to observe the following guidelines
when using your headphones.
Listen at reasonable volumes for reasonable
periods of time.
Be careful not to adjust the volume as your
hearing adapts.
Do not turn up the volume so high that you
can’t hear what’s around you.
You should use caution or temporarily
discontinue use in potentially hazardous
situations.
Do not use headphones while operating a
motorized vehicle, cycling, skateboarding, etc.;
it may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in
many areas.
