The American Academy of Pediatrics advises earmuffs rather than earplugs for small children: plugs are a choking hazard.
For the loud day out
Fireworks reach 140 to 160 dB in CDC's figures, and the AAP says sound above 120 dB can damage hearing at once. A child on your shoulders at a show is closer to the noise than you are.
The 032 is passive and rated NRR 25. It has no battery to run out halfway through a race, and the band adjusts as the child grows.
For young shooters
The youth electronic muffs are slim, with smaller cups that fit a smaller head and leave room for a stock. They raise voices like our adult electronic muffs, so a coach can talk to the shooter.
PROHEAR kids and youth ear protection: questions
Do PROHEAR kids earmuffs fit toddlers?
Yes, with the band at its smallest setting. Both ears should sit fully inside the cups, with no hair or hood under the cushions.
Can your child wear PROHEAR 032 earmuffs at fireworks?
That is one of the places the AAP advises earmuffs for young children. Put them on before the show starts and keep a little distance from the launch site.
What is the difference between PROHEAR kids and youth earmuffs?
The 032 kids earmuffs are passive. The youth earmuffs are electronic, with amplification for voices, sized for young shooters.
