Contrary to popular belief most parents do remember being young and part of being young is playing the newest music till you know each 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 did not matter to much. Now that every teenager usually use an ipod or any other music player the condition is more serious. Teens don't think of much beyond the present condition and they surely do not worry about ear safety or what damage they could do to their hearing.

As a parent you should care for your children's health, teenagers especially can't be relied on to use common sense therefore you might require to be persuasive. If you can influence them to use a stereo with speakers for some hours a week instead of constantly pushing their ear buds as deeply into their ears as possible.

As well as talking to them regarding their music, you might need to talk about the harm which could be done to a persons hearing while working around engines. No matter how large or small the engines may be, the constant noise may cause troubles.

A lot of teen boys will mow lawns for some extra money in the summer, if they are around a lawn mower engine for even a few 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 safety ear muffs which allow them to listen to music while they are working. The difference in using ear muffs which have music piped in instead of their own mp3 player is that the music is around their ears rather than stuffed deep down into the ear cavity. This reduces the long-term hearing damage and is an easy strategy to help them participate in ear safety practices.
