Product Information

Here are the things we considered when looking for the best headphones for babies on planes. Noise Reduction Rating These infant headphones for flying will help protect your baby’s hearing from the loud noise while on a flight. Can babies wear noise-cancelling headphones? Babies have delicate ears, that’s a fact. In the early years of their lives, children use their hearing to learn to speak and understand their surroundings. It is a sense that doesn’t develop before birth.

Babies should not wear ear protection to bed. It is not recommended in the American Academy of Pediatric’s safe sleep guidelines ( source). This may also make it difficult for your infant to sleep through the routine noises in your home. Finally, make sure the ear protection is adjustable. This allows for added comfort and head growth as most ear protectors should fit for the first couple of years of a child’s life. Design The more comfortable they are, the more likely your baby is to wear them without getting fussy. Weight

If your little one is sensitive to sound, these are some of the best headphones for flying on an airplane with a baby or toddler. Snug Kids Earmuffs Ear-muff style: The big ear muffs are the sound-reducing kind. Headphones with smaller cups are usually the ones you plug into a device so your child can listen to music or shows. The noise-reducing headphones for a baby will not have any cord or Bluetooth ability. Realistic expectations: Don't expect headphones to deliver silence. Though they may be called "noise cancelling," there is no pair of headphones that can silence everything. "Decreasing the sound reaching your baby's ears is the goal," Dr. Balk says.

Imagine you’ve just gotten your baby to sleep on the airplane, only to have them woken by a loud passenger or a crying baby. This happened to me on a flight home from Paris we were seated right next to the toilets – the slamming bathroom door constantly woke our baby! I was so incredibly frustrated, I’ve never wished for different airplane seats or noise cancelling headphones for my baby more!Hearing damage can happen above 75 decibels, especially with prolonged exposure. The louder the sound and the longer it lasts, the more damage can occur. When in doubt, put the headphones on the baby a little sooner than you would put them on yourself. Special Needs Although babies do not NEED headphones on an airplane, I highly recommendbuying baby headphones for flying. 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! Comfort 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.
