To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines:
• Do not listen at high volume levels. Extended high-volume
listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.
• Set the volume to the lowest setting. Then turn on your
audio device and adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
• Avoid increasing the volume. Your ears will adapt to the
volume level, so a level that does not cause discomfort
could still damage your hearing.
