Listening Safely

To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use headphones.

•Set the volume to the lowest set- ting before you begin listening. After you begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable listen- ing level.

•Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended high-vol- ume listening can lead to perma- nent hearing loss.

•Once you set the volume, do not increase it. Over time your ears adapt to the volume level, so a volume level that does not cause discomfort might still damage your hearing.
