•Do not turn the volume up to block out noisy surroundings. If you choose to listen to your device in a noisy environment, use noise-cancelling headphones to block out background noise. By blocking background noise, noise-cancelling headphones should allow you to hear the music at lower volumes than when using earbuds.

•Limit the amount of time you listen. As the volume increases, less time is required before your hearing could be affected.

•Avoid using headphones after exposure to extremely loud noises, such as rock concerts, that might cause temporary hearing loss. Temporary hearing loss might cause unsafe volumes to sound normal.
