Protecting Your Child’s Hearing

Over time, loud concerts and sports events will damage your hearing, but how do you slow down that process? Taking measures to protect your one’s ears as early as possible. According to the Times, parents don’t take enough measures to preserve their children’s ears.

The article compliments New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees for putting earmuffs on his one-year-old son during their Super Bowl victory celebration. Those earmuffs might look dorky, but they’re extremely cheap ($20ish) and can make a big difference in protecting your child’s hearing. They are also better than ear plugs and aren’t a choking hazard.

Interesting fact: sales of Baby Banz earmuffs, designed specifically for infants six months and older, rose 40% after the Super Bowl.
