How Can I Keep My Ears Healthy?

Take good care of your ears! Here are some smart steps:

 Don't stick things like cotton swabs* and fingernails into them.
Doing so can scratch** the ear canal, push earwax deeper into the
ear, and even rupture the eardrum. If earwax bothers you, talk to
an adult who can tell your doctor.

 Protect your hearing. Turn down the volume on video games, TV

and, especially, portable music players. Wear hearing protection (like
earplugs*** or protective headphones) if you'll be around loud noises (at a
concert, car race, etc.). Hearing damage builds over time. But it doesn't take
long for problems to develop. Tiny earbuds**** can harm your hearing
seriously. Keep this in mind when you turn up the volume.

Vocabulary:
* cotton swabs= hisopos de algodón (“cotonetes”)
** scratch= raspar
*** earplugs= tapones para oídos
