Hearing protection for (almost) 2 year old son

Postby samnmax203 » Wed May 16, 2012 11:25 pm

My little guy loves to watch me practice and likes to sit and play himself, but I want to make sure he has hearing protection. Has anybody had any experience with the Vic Firth kid iso headphones? I know the adult versions are nice, but I'm curious to any stories about fit/usage.

Use them with my younger students. Haven't had any issues other then the usual kid stuff "feels weird, sounds muffled" etc I don't have any students nearly that young/small however. Maybe get GC or your LDS to order a pair and try them on in the store?

Having put 1 cup on an ear, they appear to have about the same spl dampening effect as the adult versions. If they fit on him, probably are good to go!

I bought a pair of those baby banz when my kid was still in the oven. He is 16 months now and won't wear them for more than a half second.
