Listening Cautions

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.
