Avoiding Hearing Damage Permanent hearing loss may occur if the internal speaker, earbuds, or headphones are used at high volume. Set the volume to a safe level. You can adapt over time to a higher volume of sound that may sound normal but can be damaging to your hearing. If you experience ringing in your ears or muffled speech, stop listening and have your hearing checked. The louder the volume, the less time is required before your hearing could be affected. Hearing experts suggest that to protect your hearing:
ÂÂ Limit the amount of time you use the internal speaker, earbuds, or headphones at high volume. ÂÂ Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
ÂÂ Turn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking near you.
For information about how to set a maximum volume limit on iPod touch, see the iPod touch User Guide.

Stop using iPod touch if you find it disruptive or distracting while operating any type of vehicle, or performing any activity that requires your full attention.
