Protecting your child's hearing is a necessity, not a luxury. (Prolonged) exposure to loud sounds can cause hearing damage and, unfortunately once that damage occurs, it's usually irreversible. That's why it's important to be aware of volume levels when children are listening to music through headphones, for example, and especially when they're exposed to loud noise levels at concerts and similar events. Children's earmuffs and earplugs are specially made for smaller ears and designed to be comfortable to wear and stylish too. Children who are easily distracted can often concentrate better when wearing earmuffs while doing homework as well!
