Danger
Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause a 
permanent hearing loss. Individuals vary considerably to 
noise induced hearing loss but nearly everyone will lose 
some hearing if exposed to sufficiently intense noise for a 
sufficient time. 

The U.S. Government's Occupational Safety and Health 
Administration (OSHA) has specified the following 
permissible noise level exposures: 

According to OSHA, any exposure in the above permissible 
limits could result in some hearing loss. Ear plugs or 
protectors in the ear canal or over the ears must be worn 
when operating this amplification system in order to prevent 
a permanent hearing loss. If exposure in excess of the limits 
as put forth above, to insure against potentially harmful 
exposure to high sound pressure levels, it is recommended 
that all persons exposed to equipment capable of inducing 
high sound pressure levels, such as this amplification 
system, be protected by hearing protectors while this unit is 
in operation.
