Should Babies Wear Noise Cancelling Headphones on a Plane?
You may be wondering about flying with a baby and if you should invest in a pair of baby headphones for flying.
According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, takeoff and landing will be the loudest times on the airplane. During the flight the noise level will be lower. Keep in mind that it will be louder at the rear of the cabin and near the engines. Based on the NIOSH findings, it’s not necessary for babies to wear ear protection headphones for planes.
The biggest consideration in purchasing baby ear protection for flying is if you think it will help your baby sleep. While, some parents find that the humming white noise from the airplane can help their baby to sleep, others find the noise of announcements, passengers or toilet doors will wake up their baby. In this instance, noise cancelling headphones for flying might help baby sleep.
However, you want to make sure when you purchase the best baby ear protection for flying that they fit properly and will be comfortable for your baby to sleep on the airplane.
What to Look for When Buying Baby Ear Protection Headphones
Here are some factors to be kept in mind when you are purchasing headphones for baby ear protection.Â
NRR Rating (Noise Reduction Rating)
NRR values say a lot about a pair of baby noise cancelling headphones. NRR, short for Noise Reduction Rating, is a means to measure the ability of a pair of headphones to cancel out noise. The higher the NRR value, the better the noise-cancellation.Â
If you are looking for baby headphones to just drown out some noise, baby noise blocking headphones with lower ratings can work fine. But, if you think you will ever have your baby with you at a concert or a fireworks show, it’s wise to invest in a pair of baby soundproof headphones with a higher rating.Â
 Size/Weight of Baby Noise Canceling Headphones
Another thing to remember while looking for baby headphones for flying or concerts is to pick a pair that is neither too big nor too heavy on their little heads.
It’s a good idea to check the description of the pair of infant noise cancelling headphones that you’re eyeing for its dimensions, size, and weight in order to avoid ordering something that is simply too bulky for your little one.Â
Age of Baby
If you want to get the best value for money, then consider the age of your baby when buying headphones for them. Not only will this help you pick one that suits your baby best from among the wide variety of colors and styles, but most importantly, will help you choose one that will sit sturdily on top of their little heads and ears.Â
Baby noise reduction headphones that can be adjusted at the headband are always the best choice as this allows them to grow right alongside your child as they get bigger. And we all know how fast that can be!Â
Comfort
As parents, we know that after safety, comfort is a top priority when it comes to choosing baby travel essentials. Â
It’s a good idea to pick baby ear protection for flying, concerts, sporting events, etc that are softly padded and have a comfortable covering.
Furthermore, ensuring that baby headphones fit as your child grows is one thing, but also making sure that they fit well is another. And the only thing that can guarantee that is adjustable baby sound proof headphones.
Packable Baby Headphones
Baby headphones for flying should be compact and fold easily. When folded, some noise canceling baby headphones can even fit into the pocket of a diaper bag or stroller bag.
