　　Unlike the other parts of the body,your ears don't ask for much.They don't need to be brushed once a day like your teeth.But they really need some special care,especially if you like listening to music with earphones(耳机).

　　Maybe your mum or dad has told you,"Turn that down before you go deaf(耳聋)!" Well,they are quite right.Loud noise may cause hearing problems for a short time or even for ever.

　　Think that earphones are a good way to escape from your parents' eyes?Well,it may not be as good a way as you think.American doctors have studied a group of 4,490 people who used earphones more than 15 hours every week.The doctors found that 3,730 of them were getting hearing problems.

　　If you use earphones too long.your ears may feel painful.You may also lose your hearing for the rest (其余的) of your life.

　　So don't wear your earphones too long.Use them less than one hour a day.

　　Want good hearing? Don't forget to do the following:

　　Try to stay away from places with too much noise,like a disco.If you have to go,wear earplugs(耳塞).

　　When swimming,remember to put earplugs into your ears to stop water from getting in.

　　Never put anything sharp (尖的) into your ear.If you think you have too much earwax (耳屎),ask your mum or dad to help you clean it out.

　　Please remember these things!Then you won't be saying "WHAT???" when you are older.
