The ear is a delicate organ and hearing can be easily damaged by loud noises. A baby or young child will probably not protest when the environment is too loud and as their hearing is especially sensitive it can be easily damaged for the rest of their life. Damaged hearing can cause problems with sleeping, behaviour and learning, and it is not always picked up until a child is older.

Adjust the headband so that it sits comfortably over the top of the head. Sunglasses, reading glasses and thick hair can reduce the performance and fit of ear muffs. What are the differences between the Peltor Kid, Junior and Select ear muffs?The only difference is the colour. They are all exactly the same ear muff otherwise. The reason they have different names is because the Junior is marketed in the U.S., the Kid to Europe and Australia. The Select is marketed towards woman,  we sell it as a suitable option for children as it is exactly the same as the Junior and Kid ear muffs. What does NRR and SNR stand for and what do they mean?NRR stands for Noise Reduction Rating, and SNR stands for Single Noise Ratio. Basically, these two ratings are used to give a measurement of the average decibel attenuation  ( lowering of the noise level ) over a range of specified frequencies. They are calculated slightly different and because of this the SNR rating will come out higher than the NNR rating. Will my child be able to hear anything with the ear muffs on?Yes, your child will still be able to hear, this is important to their safety, however the dangerous levels of noice will be reduced. The less noise the child is exposed to, the less noise the ear muffs will let through. This also applies to ear plugs. What options are there for a newborn baby?Unfortunately there just isn’t any hearing protection designed with a newborn baby in mind. Although we recommend our ear muffs for babies from 6 months, they will also fit a lot of younger babies too. A lot of parents have successfully used our ear muffs on babies as young as 6 weeks old. It is ok for the headband to extend above the top of the head, just as long as the ear cups seal around the full perimeter of the ear.   Charity Donations: In conjunction with our website, Babyearmuffs donates a portion of each sale to a childrens charity.
