The Safety of Your Ears is in Your
Hands
Get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level—
a level that lets the sound come through clearly without annoy-
ing blaring or distortion and, most importantly, without affecting
your sensitive hearing. 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.
ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:
Set your volume control at a low setting.
Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably
and clearly, without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level, set
the dial and leave it there.
