The risk of hearing lossincreases as sound is played louder and for longerdurations. Prolonged exposure to loud sounds(including music) is the most common cause ofpreventable hearing loss. Some scientific researchsuggests that using portable audio devices, such asportable music players and cell phones, at highvolume settings for long durations may lead topermanent noise-induced hearing loss. This includesthe use of headphones (including headsets, earbuds,and Bluetooth® or other wireless devices). Exposureto very loud sound has also been associated in somestudies with tinnitus (a ringing in the ear),hypersensitivity to sound, and distorted hearing.Individual susceptibility to noise-induced hearing lossand potential hearing problem varies. Additionally,the amount of sound produced by a portable audiodevice varies depending on the nature of the sound,the device settings, and the headphones that areused. As a result, there is no single volume settingthat is appropriate for everyone or for everycombination of sound, settings, and equipment.You should follow some common senserecommendations when using any portable audiodevice:• Always turn the volume down before plugging theearphones into an audio source.
