Monitor your use. Hearing loss is a function of loudness versus time. The louder it is, the less time you
can be exposed to it. The softer the volume, the longer you can listen. For example, 8 hours at 85 dB
causes as much damage as 4 hours at 88 dB, 2 hours at 91 dB, or just 15 minutes at 100 dB.
Do not listen to music at a high volume for any extended period.
Do not listen to music in the ‘front row’ setting in Immersion Mode at high volume for any extended
period.
Only use your nuraphone whilst volume on your device is set at a comfortable, moderate level.
Use caution and follow applicable laws regarding mobile phone and headphone use if using the

earpiece use whilst driving.
Your nuraphone has been designed and tested with the strictest of consideration for safety and
comfort, but please note: exposure to any loud noise at or above 85 decibels (dB – approximately the
same volume of a food blender) can cause gradual hearing loss. Due to the clarity
and sound isolation of the nuraphone you will not need to play your music as loudly as with conventional
headphone products. However, please adhere to the safety instructions below and use your nuraphone,
particularly in Immersion Mode, responsibly.
