Huh? Can you speak up? Oh! You want to know if loud music can
hurt your ears. Are you asking because you like to put on your
headphones and crank up the volume of your favorite CD? Maybe
your mom or dad has told you, "Turn that down before you go
deaf!" Well, they have a point. Loud noise (from music or other
sources such as machinery or jet engines) can cause both
temporary and permanent hearing loss. Hearing loss means someone
can't hear as well as other people do. For some people, that
means not being able to hear at all. If the noise around you is
so loud that you have to shout to be heard, there is a chance
that the mechanism inside your ear can be injured. Temporary
hearing loss can happen after you've been exposed to loud noise
for any duration. If you have temporary hearing loss, you won't
be able to hear as well as you normally do for a while. Don't
worry, it will go away (usually after a good night's sleep).But
it means that the next time you're around loud noise, you should
wear protection to avoid
