Lucid Audio’s most advanced hearing protection for babies and infants lets you talk to your child at the touch of a button while safeguarding their hearing, and it even includes four built-in soothing sounds
The patented GrowBand™ adjusts to fit a wide range of head sizes and uses super-soft, machine-washable materials to comfortably protect your child’s head as they grow
With a simple button press, you can soothe or communicate with your child without needing to remove the HearMuffs
Four built-in soothing sounds—Lullaby, Babbling Creek, White Noise, and Heartbeat—create calming comfort whether at home or in loud environments
Made with nontoxic, kid-friendly materials, HearMuffs are designed with safety in mind
Provides maximum comfort and advanced protection from loud, harmful noises like traffic, concerts, construction, and city sounds
I love the concept of these- the option to offer white noise and not just noise muffling could be useful. A quick read of reviews on Amazon offers one downside that’s worth noting before buying for infants- there is cushioning on the top that can peel off, so it is decidedly not baby proof. The adult must be vigilant so a teething or mouthy kid doesn’t try to eat the foam.
I highly recommend that new parents NOT be quiet around the new baby while it is sleeping. Do all the things you need to/want to do while it is a newborn and that becomes “normal”. Babies sleep through normal. They wake up to the unusual sounds. So run the dishwasher, the washing machine and leave the TV at normal volume immediately.
I wouldn’t have minded having these while traveling but I would avoid using them at home and winding up with a child who can only sleep in a soundless void.
@jamesmcp I am no expert on child development, but I’d say the same is the case for cats (and dogs). I was amazed at the situations where it would be noisy and maybe my cat would raise his head a bit and open one eye and then realize oh it’s just you and go happily back to sleep.
@jamesmcp And startled by everything during every waking minute. The baby-fying of each successive generation has become way too normalized. What next, they install sonic, temperature and vibration dampeners in utero? Eventually, the enemy will just need to play some loud classical music to take us out.
@jamesmcp on the other hand if going to something extremely loud like a Formula 1 race, monster truck show, or some music concerts, yes, definitely use the protection, at least in passive mode. (I didn’t see in the specs the dB rating on these — would seem to be important).
@pmarin I did say I would have given them to my kids while traveling. As someone who has tinnitus from a misspent youth, I’m the one who carries a pocket full of earplugs to events and hands them out.
Too bad not an adult size; I was hoping I could play soothing sounds while watching political news like Meet the Press tomorrow morning. A smart person might say just don’t watch that! But I shop on Meh.

What??
@phelmurh I can’t hear you!!
Can I modify the Soothing Sound Modes to include the bloodcurdling screams of my enemies at unsafe levels? Asking for a friend (who I babysit for).
Do they make this in earbud size? Asking for the wife of my snoring friend.

Completely unrelated topic: so they (someone… us? Amazon?) are going to invest a $Billion to restart Three Mile Island?
Will this keep my kids from shopping on meh.com?
HearMuffs.
Definitely safer for small heads than bear muffs.
FFS, Meh. Would you please give me some snacks or mixers? I enjoyed the death dust.
Necessary protection when taking the toddler to the gun range
