This can be dangerous for their hearing if gadget activities are done for more than eight hours, with or without breaks.

"arbud Can Be the Solution?"

Earbuds are currently trending and widely used by children. The sound quality is also well-maintained, but children tend to increase the volume of the earbuds when the surrounding noise bothers them.

This is actually more dangerous than using soundproof headphones. Therefore, we must be smart in choosing the devices that children will use. In facing this problem, parents do not need to prohibit the little one from using headphones, okay. Just limit the volume and duration of using the device if you don't want bad things to happen to the child's hearing system.

What Can Parents Do?

If they are still under 5 years old, limit the volume of the device to 70 dB or lower, because this noise level is safe to listen to for a long period of time without any risk. Adjust the volume of the sound produced by the headphones through the settings available on devices such as mobile phones, tablets, or laptops. As an alternative, you can buy headphones that have noise cancelling features or sound limiters that reach the child's ears.

               

Please also pay attention to the warning signal given by the headphones if the volume is too loud. In addition, as parents, you can provide them with an understanding to take off the headphones for a while after using them for two hours.
