Frequently Asked Questions

How will I know if they are fitted correctly?

Make sure the child's ear is enclosed inside the space in the ear cup and that the cushions seal fully against the head around the full perimeter if the child's ear. Adjust the headband so that it sits comfortably over the top of the head. Sunglasses, reading glasses and thick hair can reduce the performance and fit of ear muffs.
What does NRR and SNR stand for and what do they mean?

NRR stands for Noise Reduction Rating, and SNR stands for Single Noise Ratio. Basically, these two ratings are used to give a measurement of the average decibel attenuation ( lowering of the noise level ) over a range of specified frequencies. They are calculated slightly different and because of this the SNR rating will come out higher than the NNR rating.

Will my child be able to hear anything with the ear muffs on?

Yes, your child will still be able to hear, this is important to their safety, however the dangerous levels of noise will be reduced.  The less noise the child is exposed to, the less noise the ear muffs will let through. This also applies to ear plugs.

What options are there for a newborn baby?

Unfortunately there just isn't any hearing protection designed with a newborn baby in mind. Although we recommend our ear muffs for babies from 6 months, they will also fit a lot of younger babies too. A lot of parents have successfully used our ear muffs on babies as young as 6 weeks old. It is OKJ for the headband to extend above the top of the head, just as long as the ear cups seal around the full perimeter of the ear.

What do the letters printed on the earmuffs refer to?

The letters printed on the side of the earmuffs refer to various international safety standards:

ANSI S3.19 - The American National Standards Institute is a private, nonprofit organization that oversees the development of voluntary consensus standards for products, services, processes, systems, and personnel in the United States. Equivalent Australian companies include SAI Global and Standards Australia. S3.19 is the standard introduced by the ANSI to regulate hearing protection devices. Em's For Kids meet these requirements.

EN352-1: 1993 - This is the European Standard for hearing protection and hearing protectors, as well as protective clothing and other safety measures. Em's For Kids also meet this standard.
