Baby & Kids Ear Defenders

Fireworks night, festivals, football matches and air shows are all much louder for a baby than they seem to us. Ear defenders take the edge off the noise. This collection covers baby ear defenders with a soft headband, children's folding ear defenders and earmuffs for older kids, from brands such as Lucid Audio, BANZ, BBTKCARE and Yoofoss.

What to compare

  • Age range: baby models use a soft fabric band instead of a hard headband. Check the age range on the listing.
  • Noise rating: UK and EU listings show an SNR figure, and US listings show NRR. The two scales are measured differently, so compare like with like.
  • Fit: the cups should cover the whole ear and seal gently against the head. Hats and hoods underneath stop them sealing.

Using them

Put the ear defenders on before the noise starts, and let your child wear them at home for a few minutes first so they are not a surprise. Ear defenders reduce noise but do not block it completely, so keep a sensible distance from fireworks and speakers.
