 Treat your
ears well by never sticking anything into them - this could hurt your
ear canal or eardrum. And
it's a good idea to be careful around really loud noises, which can injure
your ears. Wear earplugs at loud concerts, keep the volume as low as possible
on your personal stereo, and always wear protective ear equipment if you
use loud machinery in wood or metal shop at school.
You want
your ears to hear everything there is - from the quietest chirping cricket
in the woods to the noisiest basketball game in the gym.
