potentially hazardous situations.

Preventing hearing damage

Do not use headphones/earphones at high volume. Hearing

experts advise against continuous, loud and extended play. If

you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or

discontinue use.

Caring for others

Keep the volume at a moderate level. This will allow you to hear

outside sounds and to be considerate to the people around you.
