Hearing Protection

Hearing Protection

It is extremely important to be certain that the volume of music, especially the bass, is in a safe range to protect hearing. If you are planning to go to concerts or any other loud events, use ear muffs to protect the baby’s hearing (and ear plugs to protect yours). Absolutely nothing can totally replace the cells that die when any kind of sudden or sustained noise is too loud.

Keep in mind that the numbers on a decibel meter are not linear. A reading of 70 dB is 10 times as many as 60 dB, not 10 plus.

These free apps measure decibels to help all of you to stay safe. Remember that available apps can come and go, so if any of these have been replaced, simply search for “decibel meter app.”
