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 potential hearing problem varies.
Additionally, the amount of sound produced
by a portable audio device varies depending
on the nature of the sound, the device
settings, and the headphones that are
used. As a result, there is no single volume
setting that is appropriate for everyone or
for every combination of sound, settings,
and equipment.
