To protect your hearing when using Zune: Keep the volume low Set the volume loud enough to hear clearly in quiet surroundings, and no louder. » Do not increase the volume after you start listening. Your ears can adapt over time so that high volume sounds normal, but the high volume may still damage your hearing. » Do not increase the volume to block out outside noise. The combination of outside noise and sound from your headphones can damage your hearing. Sealed or noise-canceling headphones can reduce outside noise so that you don't have to turn up the volume. If you can't understand someone nearby speaking normally, turn down the volume. Sound that drowns out normal speech can damage your hearing. Even with sealed or noise-canceling headphones, you should be able to hear nearby people speak. Minimize your time listening to loud sound The more time you spend exposed to loud sound, the more likely you are to damage your hearing. The louder the sound, the less time it takes to damage hearing. » Minimize your time listening to loud sound. At maximum volume, listening to music on Zune with Zune Earphones can permanently damage your hearing in 15 minutes. » Even lower volumes can damage hearing if you are exposed for many hours.
