We recommend that you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing ???comfort level??? adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds ???normal??? can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing.
Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
???Start your volume control at a low setting.
???Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level: ??? Leave it there.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.
