This first section uses the Headphone Flashcard that you held back from the How Loud is Too Loud program module #6. Use it in the same manner has the other flashcards, just without the help of a student volunteer.
In this section you discuss the following topics with the students:
Is listening through headphones at FULL VOLUME a safe or dangerous activity? Review the headphone flashcard, when the volume is turned all the way up, sound levels from headphones can be 100 dBA which is a dangerous sound level.
Review the relationship between sound volume and listening time; the lower the volume setting the longer the amount of time you can listen safely.

Emphasize the opportunity that the students have for being responsible for their own listening behaviors and encourage them not to be influenced by others to listen at high levels.
