Note that even at relatively low volumes, sleeping while listening to something can cause hearing damage. There's an interaction between both the volume and the duration of sound exposure. If you're using your device to drown out other sounds, that might be too loud.



Thanks, I just use it on a timer to listen to something for 15 min as I fall asleep.


Why does this happen at low volumes?
