Caution

In rare instancesaneartipmay come off in theearcanal when removing the earpiece.If this should occur and the eartip cannot be easily removed,itisrecommended that you promptly contact an audiologist or other medicalprofessional. Aprofessional can use blunt tweezerstoremove the eartip.

Consult an audiologist orphysician if you haveexcessive ear wax,difficultyinsertingtheeartips,or discomfort after prolonged use.

Do not use at excessively loud levels.Research confirms that earphones that seal theearcanalallow listeners to listen at safer levels.Noise-induced hearing loss is a function of exposure time,the average sound level andthepeak ofveryloud sounds. A sealed eartip and lowerlisteninglevels allow for longer periods of safe listening.
