Hearing Tips


Use the 60/60 Rule listen to an iPod for 60 minutes at 60% of max volume and then take a break.

When you’re at a club or concert, don’t stand too close to the DJ console or speakers.

Set the volume of your iPod so that you can still hear someone who is 2 feet away from you talk.

Custom-made iPod ear moulds reduce background noise interference with the music and significantly lower the volume desired for listening.

When listening to loud music at home, position your speakers so they project away from the direct path of your ears.

Newer iPods now have a volume limit setting – use it!

Take a break from your iPod for about 5 minutes every hour.

Every time you hear a ringing or buzzing sensation in your ears you might be experiencing gradual hearing loss.

To cut down on or eliminate ambient noise, use noise-deadening or -cancelling headphones.

Low resolution music formats remove details of your music during compression, which may tempt you to turn up the volume.

Did you know extremely loud noises can cause permanent damage in less than a few minutes?

Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) can be sudden and instantaneous, such as when you are exposed to an extremely loud burst of sound.

Noise-induced hearing loss is painless, progressive, and permanent – you are unlikely to notice it until it is too late.

A sign that you might be experiencing hearing loss is that you often speak louder than those around you because you don’t hear your voice as loud as you used to.

No matter how old or young you are, too much exposure to loud noise can permanently damage your hearing.

Sounds produced by common musical instruments, such as the acoustic piano, violin, and flute, can produce severe hearing damage.
