Noise included hearing loss (NHIL) is a function of three factors: Exposure Time, Average
noise level and Peak level of very loud sounds, and is measured under the assumption
of no exposure to levels over 85 dB the rest of the day. The following guidelines are
established by OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) and more
conservative EE (Equal Energy) approach.
No two individuals have exactly the same hearing sensitivity, and any measure is
based on “Average” person. Some people may be more susceptible to hearing loss. We
strongly recommend that using as low a volume as possible.
IE-5
can significantly reduce ambient sound level around 25 dB when worn properly.
As a result, it can reduce the sound level to 85 dB from a normal stage volume, 110 dB.
If the earphone is pushed to replicate stage volume, the benefits of
IE-5
on protecting
hearing loss would be limited. We want you enjoying the music lifetime!

HEARING HEALTHCARE
Listening to audio at excess sound level can cause permanent
hearing damage. We strongly recommend that using as low a
volume as possible.
