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

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.
