Set the volume to a safe level. Over time you can become accustomed to a higher volume that may sound normal but can be damaging to your hearing. If you experience ringing in your ears or mufed speech, stop listening and have your hearing checked. The louder the volume, the less time is required before your hearing could be affected.Hearing experts suggest that to protect your hearing: • Limit the amount of time you use the headset at high volume. • Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings. • Turn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking near you.Using Headsets safely Use of headsets to listen to music while operating a vehicle is not recommended and is illegal in some areas. Be careful and attentive whilst driving.
