Hearing Safety
Listen at a moderate volume.
Using headphones at a high volume can impair your hearing. This product can
•
produce sounds in decibel ranges that may cause hearing loss for a normal person,
even for exposure less than a minute. The higher decibel ranges are offered for those
that may have already experienced some hearing loss.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes
•
of sound. So after prolonged listening, what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and
harmful to your hearing. To guard against this, set your volume to a safe level before your
hearing adapts and leave it there.
To establish a safe volume level:
Set your volume control at a low setting.
•
Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, without distortion.
•
Listen for reasonable periods of time:
Prolonged exposure to sound, even at normally “safe” levels, can also cause hearing loss.
•
Be sure to use your equipment reasonably and take appropriate breaks.
