• Avoid increasing the volume once you set
it. Over time, your sensitivity to volume
decreases, so volume levels that do not cause
discomfort might damage your hearing.

Prolonged exposure to high volume levels can
cause permanent hearing loss.

Do not wear headphones while driving. This can
create a traffi c hazard and is illegal in some areas.
Even though some headphones let you hear
outside sounds when you listen at normal levels,
they still can present a traffi c hazard.
