Women’s Earplugs taking care of mothers

Women's earplugs by JenGenFor 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.

Christmas Present Idea

While I have been talking about shopping, I have come up with (what I think) is a great idea. I am going to buy all my relatives stockings and fill them up with useful little gifts instead of a big. The great thing about it, is that all my relatives have little hobbies:

Uncle Derek is going to a lot of concerts recently, watching bands like Kings of Leon (I think he might be going through a mid life crisis).

Aunty Margaret has been saying she wants to go on a diet after Christmas along with some gentle exercise.

  • Present Idea: Home workout DVD, swimming ear plugs, water blocker for the nose and a work out vest.

Cousin Tim loves his motorcycle and watching extreme sports.

Cousin Frank has recently moved to the country to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but has got a bit of a pest problem.

  • Present idea – Country cooking book, shooting ear plugs, vegetable seeds, gardening tools.

Cousin Gemma is a lover of old fashion films and vintage (a bit of a fashionista).

  • Present Idea – The Red Shoes DVD, Vintage jewellery, JenGen ear plugs – just like the ones Audrey Hepburn wore in Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

How Fashionable!

Ear plugs are an essential item to have with you at all times especially when wanting to give your hearing the best protection available. This doesn’t mean they have to be ugly to look at, nor does it mean you can’t feel like a fashionista and these JenGen Blue Tassel Ear Plugs prove that. They look just like the sleeping ear plugs Audrey Hepburn wore in the film Breakfast at Tiffany’s and priced at less than £6 that is what I would call a fashion steal.

These Holly Golightly ear plugs will allow you to get more beauty sleep, blocking snoring from partners and as they are reusable these classic extra long blue tasselled ear plugs will provide you with hours of comfortable hearing protection for many nights.

Not only are these sweet ear plugs featured on one of the greatest Audrey Hepburn films especially for fashion and style, but Vogue have also taken inspiration from the film and recreated the Breakfast at Tiffany’s look in a new photo shoot featuring Anne Hathaway.

Stop Snoring!

Do you snore? What about others in your household? If you or a loved one snores, it may be more than a minor annoyance. Let’s look at the facts behind snoring.

The basic mechanism of snoring is a partial obstruction of the airway by soft tissue at the back of the throat. When the person falls asleep, soft tissue at the back of the throat falls over the trachea. The snoring noise you hear is the rattle of the soft tissue.

A person who suffers from sleep apnea will actually stop breathing for a short time until they are startled awake by the lack of oxygen. If you ever hear your partner make gasping noises followed by a loud snort sound, this is probably what’s occurred.

Women’s Earplugs: Are You Taking Care of YOU?

Admittedly, there are times when I’d like to tune out some of my world, like when the kids are arguing or screaming, but I wouldn’t want this to become a permanent thing or I’d miss out on the laughter and ‘I love you’s’.
