Look after your ears before it's too late! By Kevin

Vibrations that travel through the air can be heard when they reach a person's or animal's ear.

The thing that lets us hear sound is our ear. Our ear is an organ in our head, it also lets us hear sound from far or near. When we hear vibrations the sound goes into our ears and goes through our ear drums and into our nerves, and travels to our brain. And that's how we hear sounds.

The eardrum is in the middle of the ear. Once we hear a sound the air waves travels through our eardrum, then goes into our brain. The sound we can hear can will be heard from music or others. Another name for vibrations is airwaves. When we hear really loud sounds we might become deaf and our eardrums will get damaged.

We have ears so we can hear trouble, or someone who needs help. Without ears we won’t be able to hear what anyone says to us and that's why ears are very important.
