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

Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listening. After you begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable level.

Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended high-volume listening can lead to permanent 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.

Do not wear the ear buds while operating a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle. This can create a traffic hazard and could be illegal in some areas.

Even though the ear buds let you hear some outside sounds when listening at normal volume levels, they still can present a traffic hazard.
