Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow
these guidelines when you use
headphones.
• Set the volume to the lowest
setting before you begin
listening. After you begin
listening, adjust the volume to a
comfortable level.
• Do not listen at extremely high
volume levels. Extended high-
volume listening can lead to
permanent hearing loss.
• Once you set the volume, do not
increase it. Over time, your ears
adapt to the volume level, so a
volume level that does not cause
discomfort might still damage
your hearing.
Traffic Safety
• Do not wear headphones while
operating a motor vehicle or
riding a bicycle. This can create a
traffic hazard and could be illegal
in some areas.
• Even though some headphones
let you hear some outside
sounds when listening at normal
volume levels, they still can
present a traffic hazard.
