loss.

take appropriate breaks.
Be sure to observe the following guidelines
when using your headphones.

periods of time.
Be careful not to adjust the volume as your
hearing adapts.

Hearing Safety
Listen at a moderate volume:
Using headphones at a high volume can impair
your hearing. This product can produce
sounds in decibel ranges that may cause
hearing loss for a normal person, even for
exposure less than a minute. The higher
decibel ranges are offered for those that may
have already experienced some hearing loss.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your
hearing ‘comfort level’ adapts to higher
volumes of sound. So after prolonged listening,
what sounds ‘normal’ can actually be loud and
harmful to your hearing. To guard against this,
set your volume to a safe level before your
hearing adapts and leave it there.
