When purchasing a personal listening device, check to see if the product includes a feature that limits sound levels, and learn how to use that feature. As a general rule, keeping the volume at the mid-way level will minimize the risk of causing hearing damage. Listening to a personal listening device at full volume for just three to 12 minutes can pose a risk of immediate, serious or permanent hearing loss. Avoid using earbuds/headphones in situations where hearing is important for safety, such as when driving, crossing a street or biking. Avoid increasing the tightness of the earbud/headphone fit, as this can increase the sound levels.
