ume gradually. Sudden exposure to loud noises could cause hearing damage.
•
Turn up the volume control only far enough to hear properly.
•
Ringing in the ears may indicate that the volume level is too high. Try lowering the volume.
• If you connect these earphones to an airplane’s sound system, listen at low levels so that loud messages from

•
Have your hearing checked by an audiologist on a regular basis. If you experience wax buildup, discontinue use
until a medical professional has examined your ears.
• Failure to use, clean, or maintain earphone sleeves and nozzles according to manufacturer’s instructions may
increase the risk of sleeves detaching from the nozzle and becoming lodged in your ear.
•
Prior to inserting the earphone, always recheck the sleeve to make sure it is firmly attached to the nozzle.
•
If a sleeve becomes lodged in your ear, seek skilled medical assistance to remove the sleeve. Damage to the
ear may be caused by non-professionals attempting to remove the sleeve.
