Health Tip: Protect Kids' Hearing During the Holidays

Holiday celebrations can become loud and boisterous, putting little ears at risk from loud music, parties or toys.

The American Academy of Pediatrics advises parents to:

  • Teach children to protect their hearing, by turning down the volume and taking breaks from headphone use.
  • Look for products such as noise cancelling headphones or well-fitting ear buds that can help protect hearing.
  • Avoid toys that are excessively noisy. Test these products before you buy them.
  • If at a party or concert, stay away from the speakers and other sources of loud noise.
