Safer Hearing

Your ears are very sensitive, so you should take extra care of them especially when listening to headphones. Continued exposure to loud sounds or music can lead to permanent hearing damage. At SPL levels of 85 dB and above, hearing damage can occur if steps are not taken to protect your ears. At a level of 110 dB, the normal volume level of a typical live music venue, hearing damage can occur in as little as 30 minutes. This damage is revealed by a ringing in the ears known as tinnitus. Tinnitus usually goes away after a period of time, but with constant exposure can become permanent. Constant exposure to high volume levels can also lead to high-frequency hearing loss over time.

An added benefit of S-Logic technology is an up to 40% (3-4dB) drop in SPL (sound pressure levels) for the same perceived volume. This means the Ultrasone’s put less pressure on your eardrum than any other headphones. Because of this, the risk of hearing damaged is greatly reduced and you can listen for longer without fatigue.
