Danger
Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause a permanent
hearing loss. Individuals vary considerably to noise induced hearing
loss but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to sufficiently
intense noise for a sufficient time. The U.S. Government's
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has specified
the following permissible noise level exposures:
According to OSHA, any exposure in the above permissible limits could
result in some hearing loss. Ear plugs or protectors in the ear canal or over
the ears must be worn when operating this amplification system in order to
prevent a permanent hearing loss. If exposure in excess of the limits as
put forth above, to insure against potentially harmful exposure to high
sound pressure levels, it is recommended that all persons exposed to
equipment capable of inducing high sound pressure levels, such as this
amplification system, be protected by hearing protectors while this unit is in
operation.

Danger
L‘exposition a des niveaux eleves de bruit peut provoquer une perte
permanente de l’audition, Chaque organisme humain reagit
differemment quant a la perte de l’audition, mais quasiment tout le
monde subit une diminution de I’acuite auditive lors d’une exposition
suffisamment longue au bruit intense. Les autorites competentes en
reglementation de bruit ont defini les expositions tolerees aux niveaux
de bruits:
Selon les autorites, toute exposition dans les limites citees ci-dessus,
peuvent provoquer certaines pertes d’audition. Des bouchons ou
protections dans l’appareil auditif ou sur l’oreille doivent etre portes lors
de l’utilisation de ce systeme d’amplification afin de prevenir le risque
de perte permanente de l’audition, Dans le cas d’expositions
superieures aux limites precitees il est recommande, afin de se
premunir contre les expositions aux pressions acoustiquese I evees
potentielIement dangeure u ses, aux personnes exposees aux
equipements capables de delivrer de telles puissances, tels ce
systeme d’amplification en fonctionnement, de proteger l’appareil
auditif.
