The world is full of many beautiful sounds. You can hear the songs of birds and the laughter of people. And it's all because of your ears!They bring you a world of sounds.
But some people can't hear any sounds at all. Some are born deaf （聋的）. Many people in China can't hear ordinary sounds clearly. A lot of them are children. About 6 children of 4, 000 have hearing problems when they're born. If a child has hearing problems, he or she may also have learning problems at school.
For example, too much earwax （耳垢） isn't good for your hearing. If you have too much earwax, ask your mom or dad to help you clean it out. Noise that's louder than 85 decibels （分贝） can hurt your ears and make you lose your hearing for a short time or even forever.
Hearing is important. Don't forget to do the following.
If you have to go, wear earplugs （耳塞）. A pair of good earplugs can reduce the noise by 30 decibels.
When swimming, remember to put earplugs into your ears to stop water from getting in.
Never put anything sharp into your ears.
If you keep these things in mind, you won't be always saying "What？" when you're older.
