WARNING!
USING THIS SYSTEM AT EXCESSIVE VOLUMES CAN CAUSE PERMANENT HEARING DAMAGE. USE
AS LOW A VOLUME AS POSSIBLE.
In order to use this system safely, avoid prolonged listening at excessive
sound pressure levels. Please use the following guidelines established by the
Occupational Safety Health Administration (OSHA) on maximum time exposure to
sound pressure levels before hearing damage occurs.
90 dB SPL at 8 hours | 110 dB SPL at½ hour |
---|---|
95 dB SPL at 4 hours | 115 dB SPL at 15 minutes |
100 dB SPL at 2 hours | 120 dB SPL avoid or damage may occur |
105 dB SPL al 1 hour |
It is difficult to measure the exact Sound Pressure Levels (SPL) present at
the eardrum in live applications. In addition to the volume setting on the
Personal Monitors, the SPL in the ear is affected by ambient sound from floor
wedges or other devices. The isolation provided by the fit of quality
earpieces is also an important factor in determining the SPL.
Here are some general tips to follow in the use of this product to protect
your ears from damage.
- Turn up the volume control only far enough to hear properly.
- Ringing in the ears may indicate that the gain levels are too high. Try lowering the gain levels.
- 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.
- Wipe the ear molds with an antiseptic before and after use to avoid infections. Stop using the earphones if they are causing great discomfort or infection.
