1 Important Safety Hearing safety Listen at a moderate volume. Using headphones at a high volume can impair your hearing. This product can produce sounds in decibel ranges that may cause hearing loss for a normal person, even for exposure less than a minute. The higher decibel ranges are offered for those that may have already experienced some hearing loss. Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing ‘comfort level’ adapts to higher volumes of sound.
