Listening Caution
EST. 1924
Do not play your headphones or earphones at a high volume. Hearing experts
advise against continuous extended play.
If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or discontinue use.
Do not use while operating a motorized vehicle. It may create a traffic hazard and
is illegal in many areas.
You should use extreme caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially
hazardous situations.
Even if your headphones or earphones are the open-air type designed to let you
hear outside sounds, dont turn up the volume so high that you cant hear whats
around you.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing comfort level adapts to higher
volumes of sound. So what sounds normal can actually be loud and harmful to
your hearing.
Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing
adapts.
To establish a safe level:
Start your volume control at a low setting.
Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and
without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
Leave it there.
