For many mothers there comes a time when you just want to tune out, especially when the kids are arguing or screaming. However, you don’t want this to become a permanent thing. You many miss out on their laughter or the greatly appreciated ‘I love you’. As a mother you often consider everyone’s health but our own and your hearing and women’s earplugs may be the last thing on your mind.
However, it is the decibel levels that you’re exposed to constantly that can affect your hearing. Continuous exposure to 85 decibels or more can cause permanent hearing loss or damage, such as tinnitus (ringing in the ears).
Everyday activities such as mowing the lawn and even some of your children’s toys (some can reach 150dB) can have a knock on effect on your hearing. Whether it is using a noisy device or simply listening to music at a high volume, you could be incurring permanent hearing damage.
We live in a noisy world that is filled with chatter, traffic and sometimes industrial sounds. Some noises are within the home environment and some are outside. Wherever we go, we are surrounded by noises that could impair our hearing and this is why it’s so important to protect it. Once it has gone, it’s gone forever.
Women’s earplugs are designed to fit smaller ear canals and seal out the dangerous decibels while allowing you to hear sounds. So although you may be able to protect your hearing from dangerous noise levels, you will, sorry to say, hear the 200th ‘Mum, I want…’ of the day. On a more positive note, though, your teenager’s metal music could be drowned out.
You will find a fantastic range of women’s earplugs at Earplug Shop, including the JenGen Blue Tassel Earplugs that are reminiscent of those Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany’s wears.
Tom Cruise and Judge Judy calls them ‘snoratoriums’ and it seems this new snoring room has become a celebrity craze that is sweeping the world. Some celebrities have even taken the idea of a snoratorium to another level. It’s been told that due to Tim Burton’s snoring he lives in a separate (but adjoining) home to his wife Helena Boham Carter.
It’s easy to take our hearing for granted and sometimes we tend not to think about the damage we could be causing it when doing the most normal of activities. This is especially true when it comes to children. They have very sensitive hearing and are prone to ear infections such as grommets and swimmer’s ear. There are many occasions when it can be vital for a child to wear appropriate ear protection such as earplugs including:
Sleeping
There are many reasons why children should wear earplugs, the most common being protecting their ears from infections, another is to prevent water from entering the ear canal and causing irritation. However, the most significant reason is to prevent hearing damage and impairment.
