22 Listening caution  
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, don’t turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear what’s around you.  
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher  
-27-  
 
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.
