noise-induced hearing loss. This includes
the use of headphones (including headsets,
earbuds and Bluetooth® or other wireless
devices). Exposure to very loud sound has
also been associated in some studies with
tinnitus (a ringing in the ear), hypersensitivi-
ty to sound and distorted hearing. Individual
susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss
and other potential hearing problems varies.
The amount of sound produced by a portable
audio device varies depending on the nature
of the sound, the device, the device settings
and the headphones. You should follow
some commonsense recommendations when
using any portable audio device:
· Set the volume in a quiet envi-
ronment and select the lowest
volume at which you can hear
adequately.
· 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 envi-
ronment, use noise-cancelling
headphones to block out back-
ground environmental noise.
