A message from Hearing Health Foundation, a nonprofit whose mission is to prevent, treat, and cure hearing loss and to promote hearing health.
Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is not hearing loss that you are born with. It is hearing loss that is caused by loud noise that damages hair cells in your inner ear. If you have unilateral, mild, moderate, or severe hearing loss, it is important to take care of the residual hearing that you have. Use these tips to preserve your hearing and help your family and friends prevent noise-induced hearing loss, too! Have you heard that some people are more likely to be exposed to harmful noise than others? Kids and teens are exposed to loud sounds and music at concerts and when listening to music too loud on their devices. Have you heard that noise-induced hearing loss is preventable? Many people listen to their music at maximum volume (105 dB), which is louder than noisy traffic, subway platforms, and table saws. Turn down the volume of your music, especially if using earbuds. Block your ears at concerts and loud events by wearing ear plugs or protective headphones.

named Meg Murry whose father has gone missing. She goes on an adventure with her friend Calvin and her younger brother Charles Wallace to find her father. Charles is my favorite character because he is so young and naive—his ability to trust helps with the quest. At first Meg feels dependent on her brother and friend, but when Charles makes a wrong turn, it is up to Meg to make the right choice and save him. I recommend this book because it is a journey of self-realization for Meg, who discovers how her faults can become her strengths.
