Zune and Zune Headphones
Hearing Loss
Zune can be loud enough to permanently damage your hearing.
To protect your hearing when using Zune:
4
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 Headphones
can permanently damage your hearing in 15 minutes.
Even lower volumes can damage hearing if you are
exposed for many hours.
All of the sound that you are exposed to during a day
adds up. If you are exposed to other loud sound, it takes
less time listening to Zune at high volumes to cause
hearing damage.
To safely use Zune with no time limit, keep the volume
low enough that you can carry on a conversation with
people nearby.

Replacement Headphones May Be Louder
Other headphones may be louder than Zune Headphones, even
if the volume control setting is the same. When you change
headphones, always reset the volume starting from a low level.

A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure
