Safe Listening With Headphones

Headphones can make browser tones clearer, but comfortable volume matters more than any setting or mode.

Start quieter than you think

When using steady tones, begin at a low volume and raise it only if needed. A tone that seems mild at first can become tiring if it runs for a long time.

Drift Tones starts with a conservative volume setting, but your device, headphones, and environment all matter. Use your own comfort as the guide.

Take breaks

Long listening sessions can cause fatigue even when the sound is not loud. Pause the tone sometimes, switch to an ambience loop, or use silence.

If you notice pressure, ringing, irritation, headache, or discomfort, stop listening.

Be careful with sleep use

If you use sound while winding down, keep it quiet and easy to stop. Avoid anything that feels sharp, intrusive, or stressful. A soft ambience loop may be more comfortable than a pure tone for longer sessions.

Do not use headphones in a way that makes sleep physically uncomfortable or prevents you from hearing important sounds around you.
