The isolation provided by the fit of quality earphones is also an important factor in determining the SPL in the ear. Follow these guidelines in the use of this product to protect your ears from damage: 1. Turn up the volume only to the point where hearing is comfortable. 2. Ringing in the ears may indicate that the levels are too high. Lower the volume level. 3. Have your ears checked by an audiologist on a regular basis. If you experience wax buildup in your ears, stop using the system until an audiologist has examined your ears. 4. Wipe the earphones with an antiseptic before and after use to avoid infections. Stop using the earphones if they are causing great discomfort or infection.
