: If your '''ear''' does not work and you cannot hear, then you are deaf.

===About Ears===
: Most animals have two ears.
: Ears can be damaged by listening to loud sounds too often.
: The ears of different animals can hear different sounds. Some animals can hear sounds too high pitched for us to hear and some can hear sounds too low pitched for us to hear.
There are several parts of the ear you should know:
*[[Ear Drum]] - This vibrates like a drum skin when sound hits it.
*[[Ear Bones]] - Three tiny bones that pass the vibration to the cochlea.
*[[Cochlea]] - A spiral tube with a liquid inside it and tiny hairs attached to nerve cells.
