For your reference
Note
Do not play your headphones or earphones at a
high volume. Hearing experts advise against
continuous extended play.
If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce
the volume or discontinue use.
Do not use while operating a motorized vehicle. It
may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many
areas.
You should use extreme caution or temporarily
discontinue use in potentially hazardous
situations.
Even if your headphones or earphones are the
open-air type designed to let you hear outside
sounds, don’t turn up the volume so high that you
can’t hear what’s around you.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing
“comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound.
So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and
harmful to your hearing.
Guard against this by setting your equipment at a
safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
≥Start your volume control at a low setting.
≥Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it
comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound
level:
≥Leave it there.
