WARNING
High volume levels can lead to irreversible hearing damage.
In cases where hearing becomes painful it is possible that damage is incurred within the whole
nervous system.
Modern sound systems are designed to reproduce high volume levels and as such can be consid-
ered a danger to human hearing when incorrectly operated.
