Also, be sure that you train your child to listen to music and the tv at a relatively
neutral level as you want him to get into the habit of not blasting his music and causing damage to his hearing. Especially nowadays, when every child has his own mp3 player and is sporting headphones all the time, it is imperative that the volume be at a decent level or he will definitely pop his ear drum and harm his hearing for life. The more that you encourage your child to be aware of the sound levels and the volume at which he listens to things, the more likely that he will get into the habit of making a concerted effort to take care of himself and protect his hearing. Even more so, these tips are so easy to implement and don't require a drastic change in lifestyle or any real sort of discipline so they are perfect for a child.
