1. Top Tips for Protecting Children’s Hearing
When most people think of
hearing problems, elderly
people come to mind. But
unfortunately, hearing damage
can happen at any age, and it’s important to
protect the ears to avoid unnecessary hearing loss.
This is especially important in children, who have
very sensitive ears that can be permanently
damaged with prolonged exposure to noise. Follow
these tips to protect your children’s hearing in loud
situations.
1. Keep your children out of situations with loud
noises if at all possible. If you’re going to a rock
concert, shell out the money for a babysitter so
your kids won’t have to be exposed to prolonged

2. noise at a high decibel level. Plus, you’ll have a
more enjoyable experience without kids in tow.
2. Put ear plugs in your kids’ ears or ear muffs
over their ears if you will be in areas with loud
noises. For example, kids should wear ear plugs to
a 4th of July fireworks show or if they’re visiting a
construction site with lots of loud machinery. If
you’re at an event with loudspeakers, avoid sitting
next to them and give your children ear plugs or
ear muffs.
3. Set children’s toys with speakers to the quietest
setting. You don’t need to hear them from all the
way across the room, and children can damage
their hearing by holding the toys near their ears
with the volume turned up all the way.

3. 4. Limit the volume on headphones that children
wear. Especially if they’re using them for prolonged
periods of time, wearing the headphones can
damage hearing. Consider doing quiet activities on
airplane trips instead of cranking up the volume on
the headphones to hear a movie over the noise of
the engine.
