Care and Precautions
- Avoid storing other items in the case along with the earphones to prevent damage.
- Do not drop, sit on, or expose the earphones to water, moisture, or extreme temperatures.
- Hearing Health: Avoid listening at excessively loud volumes or for prolonged periods. If ringing, discomfort, or sensitivity to high frequencies occurs, reduce volume. It is recommended to listen at a comfortable level and then reduce the volume by another 10% or more. If co-workers can hear your music, it's likely too loud. Consult an audiologist for hearing tests if concerned.
- NIHL Prevention: Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) is preventable. Avoid exposure to sounds louder than 110 decibels in a single event or over 85 decibels for extended periods. Indicators of NIHL include hearing loss and tinnitus. Follow the rule: "too loud, too close or too long."
