We do eye exercises. We wear sunglasses. We do lots of things to protect our eyes.
Ears help us hear the world. But many things, like loud noises and sudden noises, can make your hearing lost. So how can we protect our ears? Let's take a look together.
Dry your ears with a towel (毛巾) after swimming or taking a bath. If you feel water in your ear, shake your head a little bit.
Usually, our ears clean themselves. The earwax (耳垢) builds up, dries out, and then comes out of the ear along with some dirt. Don't clean your ears with anything sharp (尖的), or it can make the earwax go too deep into your ears and hurt them.
Don't listen to loud music on your headphones (耳机) for a long time. Follow the "60 Rule": listen to music at 60 percent of your headphone's maximum volume (最大音量) for no more than 60 minutes a day. They do a better job of stopping outside noises so you can listen at a lower volume.
A. This can help you get the water out of your ear.
B. Once this happens, it's hard to get your hearing back.
C. But if your ears start to hurt, you can go to a doctor for help.
D. Over-the-ear (头戴式) headphones are better than in-ear ones.
E. However, we usually forget another important part of our body—the ears.
