Avoid Hearing Damage:
Permanent hearing loss may occur if earphones are 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 of mufed 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:
- limit the amount of time you use earphones at high volume
- avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings
- turn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking near you
