Tween Hearing Campaign

A campaign started by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders is designed to get kids to dial down the noise. Children between ages 8 and 12 are at risk to because of excessive levels of MP3 players and other electronic devices. The campaign includes a website that offers suggestions for protection of hearing including some snappy comebacks for when their friends ask them why they're wearing earplugs.
