Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these
guidelines when you use earphones or
headphones.
Set the volume to the lowest setting
before you begin listening. After you
begin listening, adjust the volume to
a comfortable level.
Do not listen at extremely high vol-
ume levels. Extended high-volume
listening can lead to permanent
hearing loss.
• Once you set the volume, do not
increase it. Over time, your ears
adapt to the volume level, so a vol-
ume level that does not cause dis-
comfort might still damage your
hearing.
Traffic Safety
Do not wear earphones or headphones
while operating a motor vehicle or riding
a bicycle. This can create a traffic haz-
ard and could be illegal in some areas.
Even though some earphones and
headphones let you hear some outside
sounds when listening at normal volume
levels, they still can present a traffic haz-
ard.
