Responsible Listening
Caution! Avoid potential hearing loss.
Damage to hearing occurs when a person is exposed to loud sounds over time. The risk of hearing loss increases as sound is
played louder and for longer durations. Prolonged exposure to loud sounds (including music) is the most common cause of
preventable hearing loss. Some scientic research suggests that using portable audio devices, such as portable music players
and cell phones, at high volume settings for long durations may lead to permanent 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), hypersensitivity to sound, and
distorted hearing. Individual susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss and potential hearing problem varies. Additionally,
the amount of sound produced by a portable audio device varies depending on the nature of the sound, the device settings,
and the headphones that are used. As a result, there is no single volume setting that is appropriate for everyone or for every
combination of sound, settings, and equipment. You should follow some common sense recommendations when using any
