General Information English Hearing Safety Listen at a moderate volume. ● Using headphones at a high volume can impair your hearing. This product can produce sounds in decibel ranges that may cause hearing loss for a normal person, even for exposure less than a minute. The higher decibel ranges are offered for those that may have already experienced some hearing loss. ● Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing "comfort level" adapts to higher volumes of sound.
