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 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 an
y temporary
hearing difficulty after listening
to your portable audio device,
discontinue use and consult
your doctor.
