Health and Safety Information 103
•
When using headphones, turn the volume down if you cannot hear the people speaking
near you or if the person sitting next to you can hear what you are listening to.
•
Do not turn the volume up to block out noisy surroundings. If you choose to listen to
your portable device in a noisy environment, use noise-cancelling headphones to block
out background environmental noise. By blocking background environment noise,
noise cancelling headphones should allow you to hear the music at lower volumes than
when using earbuds.
•
Limit the amount of time you listen. As the volume increases, less time is required
before you hearing could be affected.
•
Avoid using headphones after exposure to extremely loud noises, such as rock
concerts, that might cause temporary hearing loss. Temporary hearing loss might
cause unsafe volumes to sound normal.
•
Do not listen at any volume that causes you discomfort. If you experience ringing in
your ears, hear muffled speech, or experience any temporary hearing difficulty after
listening to your portable audio device, discontinue use and consult your doctor.
