Hearing Care Information

Please read this important information before using your Westone UM monitors.

If, after using your UM monitors, everything sounds muffled, or if you hear ringing or buzzing, your ears are trying to give you a warning! These symptoms are normally associated with a condition known as Temporary Threshold Shift and are an indication of conditions that could lead to permanent hearing loss.

While no two individuals’ hearing sensitivity is exactly the same, there are established safety guidelines for sound levels versus time of exposure. The following chart is based on OSHA’s (Occupational Health and Saftey Administration) exposure information for industry. Remember that these guidelines are based on average hearing sensitivity. Your sensitivity may be above or below these levels.

The use of any monitors offers benefits and risks. Westone UM monitors can lower ambient sound levels approximately 25dB when properly worn. However, the performance capabilities of the monitors can allow the user to negate the benefits of hearing protection from ambient sound. We want you listening for a lifetime!

Remember, personal hearing protection is your responsibility!
