Lately...In the News
Did you know?
- Many people think loud toys are mostly designed for older kids, however, the majority of noisy toys are for children 6-years-old and younger.
- Lullaby type toys are often placed in cribs with infants, exposing the baby to excessive noise for extended periods of time.
- Many computer speakers can reach 100 dB and TVs can often be even louder!
- iPod ear buds can reach 130 dB - if you can hear the music while others are wearing ear buds/headphones its a clear sign that it's TOO LOUD!
- Exposure to loud noise early on habutuates the child to expect noise to be loud, he or she becomes used to loud sounds. This is NOT good.
Rule of Thumb:
85 dB is the max volume, beyond that it's not safe for any ears - young and older.
