any workout. Be careful and attentive while exercising. Slow down, if necessary, before
adjusting your iPod while running. Stop exercising immediately if you feel pain, or feel
faint, dizzy, exhausted, or short of breath. By exercising, you assume the risks inherent in
physical exercise, including any injury that may result from such activity.

Avoid hearing damage Permanent hearing loss may occur if earbuds or headphones
are used at high volume. Set the volume to a safe level. You can adapt over time to a
higher volume of sound that may sound normal but can be damaging to your hearing.
If you experience ringing in your ears or mued speech, stop listening and have your
hearing checked. The louder the volume, the less time is required before your hearing
could be aected. Hearing experts suggest that to protect your hearing:
Limit the amount of time you use earbuds or headphones at high volume. Â
Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings. Â
Turn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking near you. Â
