According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of the above permissible limits could result in some hearing loss. Ear plugs or protectors h1 the ear canal]s or over the ears must be worn when operating this amplification system in order to prevent a permanent hearing loss if exposure is in excess of the limits as set forth above. To ensure against potentially dangerous exposure to high Sound pressure levels. it is recommended that all persons exposed to equipment capable of producing high sound pressure levels such as this amplification system be protected by hearing protectors while this unit is in operation.
