Toddler hearing protection trendy silver ear muffs.

Why should you buy ear muffs for your child?

Hearing like sight, is one of our very important and often taken for granted senses.  The auditory process is quite complex, the majority happening inside the ear canal.  Basically there are little hair cells in the canal itself that vibrate with sound waves, moving the little calcium rocks in the canal.  These hair cells get damaged with excessive noise.  Concerts, sporting events, loud movies, gardening, the work shop, even having the radio up loud; these activities can all contribute to irreversible hearing damage.

Alternatively some children, have special sensory issues and they really benefit from having the noise filtered and not being exposed to sudden loud noises.

The Banz ear muffs are available in a mini size, which is appropriate for ages 0-2 years and the larger size which is suitable for children aged 2-8 years.

I have my kids wearing ear muffs, while helping their dad in the shed and also on the ride on mower.  Along with any concerts we attend.  They also come in handy at the air shows, any motor sports or car shows.  Really, I find it best to have them in the car along with hats, just in case.  Why would you risk your child’s hearing?  I have to say that I have been jealous of the kids wearing them on more than one occasion.
