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.
