Protect Your Hearing: Turn Down Your Portable Audio Player
The No. 1 thing to do to preserve your remaining hearing is to turn down the volume to your earbuds or headphones. If you have to strain to hear talk radio or song lyrics at low gain, try increasing the treble or changing sound settings. Better yet, use high-quality headphones that minimize the hubbub around you, and thus let you hear your audio at a nonharmful volume level. Sound-isolating models passively block audio leakage through acoustic materials and tight-fitting design, while 'phones with noise-cancelation technology actively phase out external sounds.
