Hello? Oh, hey! Yeah, yeah. I totally remember. Yeah, I'm so excited for the concert. Yeah it's gonna be so much fun they're such a good group. I can't wait. Yeah, yeah let's go talk about what we're gonna wear.
Hey Bob, you there?
Suzy, is that you?
Yeah, yeah. I just wanted to talk to you about some things.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah. Did you hear how loud she was listening to her music?
Yeah, I did.And wasn't she listening to those, you know those things that go inside your ear?
Yeah, that's what I'm concerned about.It was so loud.
Oh yeah and wasn't she talkin' 'bout going to a concert?
Yeah by the time she's twenty she won't have any hearing left.
We should help her.
Yeah, but how?
I don't know.
Oh, Bob, you're so helpful. I think I might have an idea after all.

[singing] We all like music, we all like sound
Yeah we all like to make our hips swing round
To a song with a good beat and a good vibe
That makes us feel better when we’re about to cry
And to do all that we need our ears
Which use little hairs to help us hear
But when you’re jamming out to an awesome song
You’re ears, well, they start to feeling something’s wrong
See they’re fragile, delicate, they need protection
And they can be damaged if you don’t pay attention
Damaged by head phones turned too loud
Especially ear buds which condense the sound
And straight into your ear is that sound bound
But that’s not the only thing harmful to your hearing:
A loud concert where everyone is cheering
It’s so excitin’ you don’t realize the music’s blaring
But not to worry, there’s some simple solutions
To help you save your ears and start a revolution
First you gotta resist the urge to turn the music louder
And if you can do that, you should feel even prouder
And stay away from ear buds as tempting as they sound
Because over the ear head phones are healthier all around
And if you do go to a concert like I know you will
Don’t be ashamed to bring earplugs that’ll keep your ears chill
Just be smart, I know you can
And in the end your hearing will be as good as it began
>>Oh no! I think I hear her coming. Quick, stay still!
>>Oh yeah, yeah, okay well, well I'll see you later! Yeah, yeah I know me too. Okay bye!
>>Omigosh I'm so excited for the concert!
>>Hey! What's all this? Save your ears? And...huh? Well, this is a really cute pair of headphones. They look like they're safer for my ears than my earbuds were. Oh, and, earplugs? Well, I guess I could bring these along to the concert just to be safe. I wonder what you guys were up to. Oh, well. I'm off. Bye!
