Preventing hearing damage
Avoid using headphones at high volume.
Hearing experts advise against continuous, loud and extended
play. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume
or discontinue use.
Caring for others
Keep the volume at a moderate level. This will allow you to
hear outside sounds and to be considerate to people around
you.
