Important Performance and Safety

Tips for your Headphones

Listen Responsibly

To avoid hearing damage, make sure that the volume on your music player is turned down before connecting your headphones. After placing headphones in your ears, gradually turn up the volume until you reach a comfortable listening level.

Noise levels are measured in decibels (dB), exposure to any noise at or above 85 dB can cause gradual hearing loss.

Monitor your use; hearing loss is a function of loudness versus time. The louder it is, the less time you can be exposed to it. The softer it is, the more time you can listen to it. Refer to the chart* below.

This decibel (dB) table compares some common sounds and shows

how they rank in potential harm to hearing.

ENGLISH

SOUND NOISE LEVEL

EFFECT

Whisper 30 Very quiet Quiet Office 50-60 Comfortable hearing

levels are under 60 dB

Vacuum Cleaner, Hair Dryer

70 Intrusive; interferes

Food Blender 85-90 85 dB is the level at

which hearing damage (8 hrs.) begins

Garbage Truck, Cement Mixer

15 minutes of

unprotected exposure recommended for sounds between 90-100 dB

Power Saw, Drill/ Jackhammer

110 Regular exposure to

sound over 100 dB of more than 1 minute risks permanent hearing loss

Rock Concerts (varies) 110-140 Threshold of pain begins

*Chart information obtained from http://www.nidcd.nih.gov/health/education/teachers/common_sounds.asp

“…a typical person can safely listen to an iPod for 4.6 hours per day at 70% volume.” “…knowing the levels one is listening to music at, and for how long is extremely important.”

Use Responsibly

Do not use headphones when it’s unsafe to do so – while operating a vehicle, crossing streets, or during any activity or in an environment where your full attention to your surroundings is required.

It ‘s dangerous to drive while wearing headphones, and in many places, illegal because it decreases your chances of hearing life-saving sounds outside of your vehicle, such as another car’s horn and emergency vehicle sirens.

Please avoid wearing your headphones while driving. Use one of Monster’s FM transmitters to listen to your mobile media devices instead.

Learn how to establish a safe listening level and review other important safety guidelines from the Consumer Electronics Association at www.ce.org and the Deafness Research Foundation at www.drf.org.
