Playing
a musical instrument can build a child’s brain for the better.

may be hard on your hearing. People with a higher body-mass index or
larger waist size faced a higher risk for hearing problems compared to
those of normal weight. The ear is dependent on an adequate blood supply
and obesity can compromise blood flow by narrowing blood vessels. Source Link
