Halloween will soon be gone and Bonfire night will be upon us. With bonfire nights, come noisy fireworks displays. Fireworks are one of my favourite things, they’re exciting and I love the noise, the lights and the special effects – very Disney!
If, like us, you’d like to take your children to see a fireworks display, you’re probably worried about their ears. Obviously it’s very important to protect their ears, as they can end up being permanently damaged if they are subjected to loud noises. Last year I was at a Madonna concert. Her kids were at the back of the stage and you could see they had ear defenders on – just like those the ground crew wear when a plane takes off/lands or you see men drilling the roads with them on.
I thought that was a good idea, so we actually looked online and got some last November, in time for Bonfire night. Our daughter was one but she refused point blank to let us put the defenders on her, let alone keep them on. Of course, she had no understanding of why she should wear them. So we abandoned our plans to watch the fireworks. This year, we’re hoping she might be a bit more accommodating as we’re hoping to go to the display at Bishop’s Park in Fulham on Friday 6 November. If not then it’ll be another quiet night in!
We got some Peltor Kids ones (see picture) which cost £13.95 and come in pink or lime green. They have foam-filled ear cushions and are lightweight-ish. For 0-7 year olds.
