Hello and I need some advice on how to adjust the volume of my sound machine.
I currently have Oasis S650 and this is quite a good product. But I'm quite confused whether to set the volume high or low.
I don't have a tinnitus right now so I don't know what standard I should follow to set the volume right. For example, I set the volume barely audible at night (white noise) and I wonder if playing it a little loudly might harm my sensitivity or not.

And about the sound enrichment at daytime.. I prefer to listen to the rain sound on that occasion but the machine sounds so smooth and rich that I don't know what its absolute decibel is. How loud should I set it on this occasion?
 
Thank you @Bill Bauer

Set the volume of the sound machine at a level that you can comfortably hear and also ignore without it drawing attention to itself like a radio. It takes time to get used to a sound machine so try to be patient. Set it to play throughout the night until morning. Ideally, it should be placed by the bedside.

Even if the volume is slightly loud it shouldn't interfere with your sensitivity to sound. Over time your sensitivity to sound will decrease. Try using sound enrichment during the day too. Something soothing such as classical music is ideal.
