Hearing Protection for Kids
Fireworks, concerts, construction sites or family parties: children's ears are sensitive to noise, and hearing protection that is too small sits badly or slips off. At SCHALLWERK you will find hearing protection built for children's heads, not just a shrunken adult version.
Kiddies is our earmuff hearing protection for children up to 16 years. It fits head circumferences from 52 to 60 cm, weighs 188 g and reaches an SNR of 28 dB (H 33 / M 25 / L 18) to EN 352-1:2020. The headband is adjustable and the ear cups are padded. Kiddies comes in many colours, as a Full Print version and with UV print for your own designs.
Kids+ are earplugs for children who prefer to go without a headband, for example at the cinema, on a plane or during sports. The SNR is 29 dB (EN 352-2:2020). They are made for the length of a concert or a train ride and travel in their case.
For babies and toddlers up to 24 months we have MINI+, a dedicated earmuff for head circumferences of 38.5 to 49 cm. You will find it in the Hearing Protection for Babies collection.
How to choose: measure your child's head circumference above the ears. If it is between 52 and 60 cm, Kiddies fits. Smaller heads need MINI+ if the child is under 24 months. Try the hearing protection at home and let your child wear it for a few minutes before the real event. It should sit without pressure and fully enclose the ears.
Frequently asked questions
From what age can my child wear Kiddies?
Head circumference matters, not age. Kiddies fits 52 to 60 cm and is designed for children up to 16 years.
What does SNR 28 dB mean?
The SNR is the single number rating for sound attenuation to EN 352. For Kiddies, H 33 / M 25 / L 18 dB are also stated for high, medium and low frequencies.
Earmuffs or earplugs for my child?
Earmuffs are quick to put on and easy to check, earplugs are smaller and fit in any jacket pocket. For small children and long events, earmuffs are usually the more comfortable choice.
Can I order hearing protection with a design?
Yes, Kiddies is available as a Full Print and a UV print version with designs.
