against continuous
Sound can be deceiving. Over time
your hearing "comfort level" adapts to
higher volumes of sound. So what
sounds "normal" can actually be loud
and harmful to your hearing.
Guard against this by setting your
equipment at a safe level BEFORE
your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
eStart your volume control at a low
setting.
Slowly increase the sound until you
can hear it comfortably and clearly,
and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfort-
abte sound level:
Set the dial and leave it there.
Get into a habit of cleaning the head
assembly (after every 10 hours or so)
with a cotton swab dampened with a
little alcohol.
