You can prevent NIHL by controlling
the volume and length of time you are exposed to loud sound.
When listening to music or video with earbuds or headphones,
we recommend keeping the volume under 85dB
Limit your exposure to volume levels of 85dB or more (refer
to the pie chart of safe sound durations established by NIOSH
and recommended by House Ear Institute at www.heLorg)
Take periodic 15-minute quiet breaks when exposing your
ears to decibels of 85dB or more

When listening to your player
with earbuds or headphones, the volume is likely to be unsafe if
other
people near you can hear the music, or if you can't hear loud
sounds above your music.
