Children’s ears are sensitive and especially vulnerable to noise-induced hearing loss.
Nearly 15% of children 6 to 17 show signs of hearing loss. This
can happen gradually, without pain, which is why prevention is important.
TIPS: Avoid Noise Hazards
If a toy seems too loud for your ears, it is probably too loud for your child. Don’t buy it.
Toys used close to the ear (like toy cell phones) should
not be louder than 65 decibels, measured from 10 inches away. More info here. Other toys should not be louder than 85 decibels measured from 10 inches away. Take the batteries out of loud toys.
Cover the toy’s speakers with tape.
