Kids Ear Defenders
« on: 26 June 2013, 20:52:02 »
Looking at getting some Ear defenders for my Eldest (9) whos is auditory sensitive and due to 'feeling left out' avoidance, that means 2 pairs...  Ahead of a loud attraction in a few weeks.

Been on my mind for years for fireworks etc..But never 'really' had the need until now.

Looking at http://www.eardefendersforkids.co.uk/web/index.php

Anyone any experience of these / or similar offerings?
These seem to suit a wide size range, hoping they are not too tight as they get older?

That is a great well timed post for me Jimbob! :y :y

I also want to purchase child ear defenders for my autistic grandson when he attends this years Eastbourne Air Show, and especially for when the Vulcan does it fly past! :) :)

I will now buy the ones in your link as they appear to be just the ticket! :y :y :y :y :y

How old's Olivia?  and how long do you expect them to fit for?

hmm. so she is at the point of outgrowing them?

Alledgedly suitable up to 16, but I know head sizes differ, and my boys aint got small heads!  a lot of kids hats are a bit on the small size.

no not you mate its the way I put it-should have been clearer--so dont get all paranoid--Everybody is after us ;D ;D
Seriously kid hearing is in higher frequency to adults---so chances of damage to hearing is higher---when they become moronsTeenagers-they deafen themselves with drivel music :(

Jimbob, I hope this isn't too late but hold fire! I'll chat with SWMBO later and see what she recommends, as it's her field of excellence!

If you don't hear back from me by tomorrow lunchtime send me a text to remind me as I'm not on here much at the moment

Having used them in training (gunfire, explosions, loud radios and shouting) I can heartily recommend the in the ear moulded protection.  they let through most sound but muffle the sound levels which can cause damage.  Downside is they are expensive at about £80-150 and obviously your kids are still growing  :-\

Yep, and indeed not only does the autistic child hate hand dryers in toilets (those Dyson jobs that sound like a jet warming up!) but so does the 3 year old.  They both run a mile ;D ;D ;D ;D ;)

Cheers Paul, Id 'temporarily' forgotton she did that, Thanks..

I know ears 'need protecting' (just like ours were when we were kids ;) )  but this is actually more about comfort.  I bet they actually get quite a bit of use once weve got them.

Matt, not sure he would like an inear solution at the mo, but in later life would be ideal should it be needed.

Need to order soonish, but not today :y

Thanks all...
