Important – Hearing Safety Levels Info

READ THIS BEFORE USING YOUR SANSA PLAYER

Congratulations on the purchase of your Sansa media player!

Your media player is equipped with a variety of features. To help you maximize your listening pleasure, SanDisk would like to advise you that it is important to use your headphones with your media player at a safe hearing level.

Exposure or repeated exposure for an extended period of time to music and other sounds that are too loud can cause damage to your hearing resulting in temporary or even permanent “noise-induced hearing loss”.

Symptoms of hearing loss increase gradually with prolonged exposure at high levels of volume. Initially, you may not even be aware of the loss unless detected with a hearing test.

Hearing levels

To help you understand what may be considered a safe hearing level, the following examples are included for your reference.

Examples of Typical Approximate Sound Level:

 

Sound Level (dB)

 

 

Refrigerator humming

40

 

 

Normal conversation

60

 

 

City traffic

80

 

 

Motorcycles and lawnmowers

90 #

 

 

Rock concerts

110-120 #

 

 

Firearms

120-140 #

 

 

* A decibel (dB) is a unit of relative measurement of the strength of sound wave. In decibels (dB), a measured signal level doubles with every additional 3 dB.

# These sound decibel levels are considered harmful with extended exposure.

For your safety!

Your hearing may adapt to higher volumes of sound. In order to prevent any harmful impact to your hearing, you must control the sound emanating from your headphones and set the media player volume to a low setting where you can hear it clearly and comfortably.

Studies, including one from NIDCD indicate that sounds of less than 80 decibels, even after long exposure, are unlikely to cause a hearing loss. Listen to your media player at such a level that you can still hear conversation and other people in your environment without shouting when you attempt to converse.
