a safe level. You can adapt over time to a higher volume of sound that may sound normal but
can be damaging to your hearing. If you experience ringing in your ears of mufed speech,
stop listening and have your hearing checked. The louder the volume, the less time is required

- avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings
- turn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking near you
