Gabby has a middle ear infection and is not feeling well. She wants you to fill in for her. In the space provided, respond to the following letter. Dear Gabby: I am dating the sweetest and dearest man. “Mike” only has one flaw. He likes loud music. He had those big boom boxes installed in his car. When we drive somewhere in his car, he blasts the music. Sometimes when we are driving down a street, people even turn around to see where the loud music is coming from. The music hurts my ears and I cannot think straight. My ears even start ringing when we go on a trip. When I am talking to Mike, he says I mumble, and I have to speak extra loud around him. I keep telling Mike that the loud music is going to damage our hearing, but he says that we are way too young for that and that only old people have trouble hearing. Please help me Gabby, because I love going on trips with Mike, but not if my ears hurt afterward. Signed, Ears are Ringing
