Avoid Hearing Damage
Permanent hearing loss may occur if the headphone is used at high volume. Set the volume to a safe
level. You can adapt over time to a higher volume of sound that may sound normal but can be damaging
to your hearing. If you experience ringing in your ears or muffled speech, stop listening and have your
hearing checked. The louder the volume, the less time is required before your hearing could be
affected. Hearing experts suggest that to protect your hearing:
l Limit the amount of time you use the headphone at high volume.
l Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
l Turn the volume down if you can't hear people speaking near you.
