The risk of hearing loss increases as sound is played at high intensity (volume) and for long durations. It has been shown that for most devices, listening through earphones at 95% of maximum sound volume continuously for 5 minutes continuously will damage hearing. To protect hearing, volume should be minimized and breaks should be taken while listening through ear/headphones. Your device may show a warning to keep the output below 80 dB, which is the maximum accepted sound level (safe up to 40 hours per week).
