Sound can be deceiving. Over time your •
hearing ‘comfort leve l’ adapts to higher
volumes of sound. So after pr olonged
listening, what sound s ‘normal’ can
actually be loud and har mful to your
hearing. To guard against thi s, set your
volume to a safe level before your hear ing
adapts and leave it there .
To establish a safe volume level:
Set your volume control at a low se tting. •
Slowly increase the soun d until you can •
hear it comfortabl y and clearly, without
distortion.
Listen for reasonable period s of time:
Prolonged exposure to sou nd, even •
at normally ‘safe’ levels, can a lso cause
hearing loss.
Be sure to use your equipment •
reasonably and take appropriate breaks.
Be sure to observe the following g uidelines
when using your headphones.
Listen at reasonabl e volumes for •

Be careful not to adjust t he volume as •

Do not turn up the volume so high t hat •
you can’t hear what’s around yo u.
