late. Your hearing can adapt to higher volumes
of sound. Sound that
seems normal can be loud and harmful to your hearing. Take
’ precautions by adjusting the volume control on your radio to a safe
sound level before hearing adapts to it.
To help avoid hearing loss or damage:
Adjust the volume control to the lowest setting.
Increase volume slowly until you hear comfortably and clearly.
