Noise-cancelling headphones for babies and toddlers – when should you use them?
EciPeci® noise-cancelling headphones with a headband help protect the delicate hearing of babies and toddlers from excessive noise. They are designed for children from 6 months to approximately 3 years of age, when hearing is particularly sensitive to loud sounds.
A soft, adjustable headband replaces a traditional headband, ensuring the headphones don't press against the child's fontanelle or head. Thanks to the even pressure distribution, they are also comfortable for children who are sensitive to touch.
If you're looking for hearing protection for a newborn, infant, or toddler, EciPeci® were created with this age group in mind.
Which noise-cancelling headphones should you choose for a baby?
The youngest children require a different design than older children. Classic hard-band ear defenders may not be suitable for infants, so the EciPeci® model uses a soft, adjustable headband that adapts to the child's head and ensures a comfortable fit.
EciPeci® headphones are suitable for newborns, infants, and children up to approximately 3 years of age.
Effective and safe hearing protection
Remember that EciPeci® headphones with a headband have been tested in Polish laboratories, confirming their soundproofing effectiveness and the safe composition of their components.
When should a child wear noise-canceling headphones?
Parents most often put hearing protection on their children when noise levels can be very high or unpredictable. The most common uses for EciPeci® noise-canceling headphones include: concerts and festivals, weddings, fireworks displays, airplane flights, renovations, sporting events, outdoor events, noisy restaurants, shopping malls, and public transportation. Headphones are also chosen by parents of children who wake up easily from naps or have difficulty coping with loud environments.
Do noise-canceling headphones help children with sound sensitivity?
Many children perceive noise much more intensely than their peers. Reducing the sound intensity can increase a child's comfort in noisy environments. The soft EciPeci® headband evenly distributes pressure around the head, making this model a popular choice for parents of children with auditory or tactile hypersensitivity. It is also used by families of children with sensory processing disorders, including autism spectrum disorder or Down syndrome. However, every child is different, so it's important to consider their individual needs.
Are EciPeci® headphones safe for infants?
The safety of children was our priority when designing EciPeci® headphones.
The noise-canceling effectiveness was confirmed by tests conducted in Polish laboratories, and the materials used were safety-tested.
The soft, adjustable headband doesn't press against the child's head and allows for comfortable adjustment to various head sizes.
How long can a child use noise-cancelling headphones?
It's recommended to use noise-cancelling headphones whenever the child is in a noisy environment or when noise may cause discomfort.
Prolonged exposure to noise levels exceeding approximately 70-80 dB can strain the child's hearing and nervous system. However, concerts, fireworks displays, and some family events often reach levels of 90-110 dB, making proper hearing protection especially important from the first few months of life.
