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

Traffic Safety

Do not wear headphones while operating a motor ve- hicle or riding a bicycle. This can create a traffic haz- ard and could be illegal in some areas.

Even though some headphones let you hear some outside sounds when listening at normal volume lev- els, they still can present a traffic hazard.
