Listening Cautions
Hearing Safety
Listen at a moderate volume: Using
headphones at a high volume can impair your
hea
ring. 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. So
after prolonged listening, what sounds ‘normal’
can actually be loud and harmful to your
hearing. To guard against this, set your volume
to a safe level before your he
aring adapts and
leave it there. To establish a safe volume level:
Set your volume control at a low setting.
Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it
comfortably and clearly, without distortion.
Listen for reasonable periods of time:
prolonged expos
ure to sound, even at normally
‘safe’ levels, can also cause hearing loss. Be
sure to use your equipment reasonably and
take appropriate breaks. Be sure to observe
the following guidelines when using your
headphones. Listen at reasonable volumes for
reason
able periods of time. Be careful not to
adjust the volume as your hearing adapts.

…
Do not turn up the volume so high that you
can’t hear what’s around you. You should use
caution or temporarily discontinue use in
potentially hazardous situations. Do
not use
headphones while operating a motorized
vehicle, cycling, skateboarding, etc.; it may
create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many
areas.
