AVOID POTENTIAL HEARING LOSS.

Prolonged exposure to loud sounds (including music) is the most common cause

of preventable hearing loss. Some scientific research suggests that using portable

audio devices, such as portable music players and cellular telephones, at high

volume settings for long durations may lead to permanent noise-induced

hearing loss. This includes the use of headphones (including headsets, earbuds and

Bluetooth® or other wireless devices). Exposure to very loud sound has also been

associated in some studies with tinnitus (a ringing in the ear), hypersensitivity to

sound and distorted hearing. Individual susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss

and other potential hearing problems varies.

The amount of sound produced by a portable audio device varies depending on

the nature of the sound, the device, the device settings and the headphones. You

should follow some commonsense recommendations when using any portable

audio device:

•

Set the volume in a quiet environment and select the lowest volume at which you

can hear adequately.

•

When using headphones, turn the volume down if you cannot hear the people

speaking near you or if the person sitting next to you can hear what you are

listening to.

•

Do not turn the volume up to block out noisy surroundings. If you choose to listen

to your portable device in a noisy environment, use noise-cancelling headphones

to block out background environmental noise.

•

Limit the amount of time you listen. As the volume increases, less time is required

before your hearing could be affected.

•

Avoid using headphones after exposure to extremely loud noises, such as rock

concerts, that might cause temporary hearing loss. Temporary hearing loss might

cause unsafe volumes to sound normal.

•

Do not listen at any volume that causes you discomfort. If you experience ringing

in your ears, hear muffled speech or experience any temporary hearing difficulty

after listening to your portable audio device, discontinue use and consult your

doctor.
