Does Your Teen Respect Ear Safety: Some Useful Points
As opposed to popular belief most parents do remember being young and part of being young is playing the newest music till you know every word of every song. Regrettably one of the other parts of being young is that you play the music very loud.
When we were playing loud music that just disturbed our parents and neighbors it didn't matter to much. Since every teen seems to use an ipod or any other mp3 player the condition is more serious. Teens never consider much ahead of the immediate condition and they certainly do not worry about ear safety or what damage they could do to their hearing.
As a parent you have to care for your kids health, teens specifically can't be relied on to use common sense therefore you may require to be persuasive. If you can influence them to use a stereo with speakers for several hours a week rather than continuously pushing their earphones as deeply into their ears as possible.
As well as talking to them regarding their music, you may need to talk about the harm which can be done to someones hearing while working around engines. Regardless of how large or small the engines may be, the constant noise can cause troubles.
A lot of teen boys will mow lawns for some extra money during the summer, if they're around a lawn mower engine for even several hours a day there is every possibility that there will be some hearing damage.
One option that you could offer is for them to wear a pair of protective ear muffs which allow them to listen to music while they are working. The difference in using ear muffs which have music piped in rather than their own music player is that the music is around their ears instead of stuffed deep down into the ear cavity. This reduces the long-term hearing damage and is a simple technique to help them participate in ear safety practices.
