Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts. To establish a safe level:

@ Start your volume contro! at a low setting. Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion. Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
