As a traveling family, we always have to be prepared for every possible situation, this includes making sure we have essential comfort items for Roo. One of the items that we never leave home without is our Peltor Noise Reducing Earmuffs. Noise can be a major trigger for children on the spectrum or with a sensory processing disorder. Loud noises, music, fireworks, and crowds can cause stress and anxiety for sound-sensitive children and noise-reducing headphones help them manage those environments.
Unlike neurotypical children, children who have sound sensitivity hear sounds that are amplified to an extreme level. This could be something as simple as the rhythmic ticking of a clock, but also the whirr of the vacuum cleaner or the boom of a firework. These sounds can irritate a sound sensitive child making it nearly impossible for them to concentrate, but can startle them and can trigger a meltdown.
The noise reducing earmuffs are able to reduce the decibel rate of the environment, but it still allows you to communicate with your child without removing the earmuffs.
Here are some of the places where your earmuffs may come in handy:
- Theme Parks
- Large Crowds such as Parades
- Shopping Malls
- Concerts or sporting events
- School cafeteria or gym
- Airports and on the airplane
- Affordable $12.72
Pros:
- Youth and Infant sizes
- Liquid foam ear cushions
- Adjustable stainless steel headband
- Durable
Potential cons:
- Children that are sensitive to touch may find the earmuffs uncomfortable
