Advanced Ear Protection for Little Ears that “Grow”

HearMuffs are noise cancelling headphones specifically designed to accommodate a wide range of infant and toddler head sizes via the patented GrowBand. Reversible and machine washable, the GrowBand enables HearMuffs to grow with the child, providing a secure fit from birth to 4 years of age. The GrowBand is made of soft materials and comfortably protects the child’s head.

FOR INFANTS & TODDLERS: HearMuffs for Infants and Toddlers come in four colors including pastel blue, pink, spa green, and white. Made of non-toxic materials, the product offers a noise reduction rating (NRR) of 22 dB. The GrowBand (sold separately) is an accessory designed to work with HearMuffs for Infant and Toddlers. It is reversible, machine washable, and available in three color combinations: spa green & white, pink & white, and blue & white. This product provides passive protection by keeping ambient sound out and is ideal for nap time or avoiding sensory overload.

FOR KIDS (5 to 10 years of age): HearMuffs for Kids come in a variety of colors including white, red, orange, green, and blue. The headset is adjustable. Also made of non-toxic materials, the product offers a NRR of 22 dB. NOTE: the GrowBand is NOT designed for HearMuffs for Kids and will only work with HearMuffs for infants and toddlers.

HEARMUFFS ACTIVE SOUNDS FOR INFANTS & TODDLERS:

The HearMuffs for Infants and Toddlers is also available in an active version, offering three unique listening modes. The first mode offers the same passive protection described above. The second mode (active protection) allows the child to hear close sounds (e.g. parent’s voice) while protecting ears from harmful sounds. This mode is activated by pressing and holding down the power button. The last mode is soothing sounds, offering four sounds for infant and toddlers to enjoy (lullaby, white noise, creek, heartbeat). Press the volume wheel to scroll through the different soothing sound options. For both the active protection and soothing sound modes, the volume can be adjusted up to 60 dB using the digital rocker wheel located on the left side of the HearMuffs. This product is only available in white, designed for children birth to 4 years of age, and GrowBand compatible.

Even if you are not a pediatric audiologist, many of your patients are most likely grandparents who would certainly be interested in offering this to their grandchildren.
