"Earnest" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
Earnest means showing a strong and sincere intention to do something or achieve something. It can also describe someone who is serious and sincere in their words or actions, without trying to deceive or manipulate others.
Earmuffs are a type of clothing or accessory worn on the ears to reduce or block out noise, typically used for warmth or to muffle sounds, such as loud traffic or construction noise. They are often made of soft materials like fabric, foam, or synthetic fibers, and may come with earmuffs attached to a hat, headband, or a separate device that fits over the ears. In addition to noise reduction, earmuffs can also be used for athletic purposes, such as in swimming or temperature-regulation, or for medical applications, such as protecting the ears during radiation therapy.
