Output limiting earphones or headphones

There are also products that limit the output volume to 82 dBA and seal the ear from outside noise.

These types of devices are good for young children. They also work well for adults whose employers might require them to wear earplugs while working in high levels of noise.

Unfortunately, there are counterfeit products on the market that don’t really limit the sound output, so be sure and buy products made by reputable manufacturers.

True or False: If someone else can hear music from your earphones or headphones, you are listening at unsafe levels.

False! Some earphones and headphones leak sound easily or don’t fit well, and even music at lower (safe) volume levels may be heard by others.

Don’t forget to share your good listening habits with your friends and family too!
