Play It Safe With Your Health. |\n\nKeep Your Hearing Healthy  \nWhat’s that sound you hear?  \nIt’s the siren of a fire truck, bark of a dog, and ring of a telephone.  \nYour ears allow you to hear many different sounds. Some sounds can be pleasant to hear and some not so pleasant. But either way, the louder the sound and the longer you listen to it, the more likely it is to cause damage to your hearing.  \nSome sounds not only harm your hearing, but can also make it hard to concentrate while reading or doing homework and prevent you from falling asleep. It is important that you learn about sound and how to identify when it is harmful to you and others.  \nThis fun booklet will teach you how to identify which sounds are loud and ways to protect your hearing and health. Hearing is a very important part of your life. You only have one pair of ears, so treat them well by protecting them from harmful sounds.  \nU.S. Environmental Protection Agency Office of Air and Radiation  \nWhat’s That Sound?  \nTest how well you know sounds. Choose a word from the list below and match it to the picture that makes that sound. After you have matched the sounds to the picture, you can  \ncolor them. bang tick tock  \nwoofvroom  \nsqueak crack  \nmeow  \nmoo  \nbuzz  \nWhat happens inside the ear when you hear sounds?  \nYour ears are amazing instruments! Each ear is divided into three parts: the outer ear, middle ear, and inner ear. The three parts work together so you can hear sound.  \n• Hearing starts at the outer ear, which carries sound from the air through the ear canal to the eardrum.  \n• The eardrum vibrates, which causes three bones (malleus, incus, and stapes) in the middle ear to move mechanically.  \n• The middle ear sends mechanical vibrations to the inner ear (cochlea) where they are picked up by hair cells, which send electrical impulses to the brain.  \nThe tiny hair cells in the inner ear are very important. Why? Because when those hair cells are damaged, they do not heal and can cause hearing loss. Think of hair cells as blades of grass. When you walk on grass the blades spring back up but if you walk over them too much, the blades stop springing back, and the grass flattens out. The same thing happens in your ears when you listen to sounds that are too loud  \nfor a long time—they may damage the tiny hair cells in your inner ears.  \nWhat is Too Loud?  \nSound is measured in units called decibels (des-uh-bels) . The greater the number of decibels, the louder the sound and the more harmful it is to your ears. The sound thermometer gives you an idea of how loud some sounds are. If you are exposed to sound at 85 decibelsand above, it may harm your hearing.  \nSound Thermometer  \n(courtesy of Dangerous Decibels)  \nHarmful to Hearing  \nCircle the 5 pictures that produce sounds that can be harmful to your hearing. To help you, use the sound thermometer on the previous page. After you have circled all 5 pictures, you can color them.  \n|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n|  |  | T | hink Q | uiet |  |  |\n| | Sound can\u003Cbr>home, sch | \u003Cbr>harm more than justool, or play, think quiet | your hearing; it can als …to keep your ears a | \u003Cbr>o cause harm to your nd health from being | health.
