Why Ear Defenders Matter & How to Use Them Safely

Georgina Rigby · November 28, 2025

Noise sensitivity is common among children with autism, ADHD, or sensory challenges. Sudden loud sounds - like hand dryers, alarms, or crowded environments, can trigger anxiety or meltdowns. Ear defenders reduce sound levels without isolating the child, helping them stay calm and engaged.
