Carnival is one of the most beloved and noisy celebrations in the Netherlands and Belgium. While adults enjoy the music, parades and festive bustle, the delicate ears of your baby or toddler can be severely burdened. Noise pollution during events such as Carnival can cause irreparable hearing damage.
In this blog you will read why hearing protection for children is essential, how you can optimally protect your little one's ears, and why the Youha Hearing Protection Set is the solution for babies and toddlers.
Why hearing protection for children is essential during Carnival
Young children’s ears are particularly sensitive. Even brief exposure to loud noises, such as drums or amplified music, can cause permanent damage. Noise levels at carnival events can reach 100 decibels or more, while children’s hearing can be overloaded at 80 decibels.
Consequences of too much noise in children:
- Permanent hearing damage: Not reversible and can occur after a short exposure.
- Overstimulation: Loud noises can cause stress and crying fits in babies.
- Learning and concentration problems: Even temporary hearing damage can have a negative impact on a child's development.
With the right hearing protection you give your child the chance to enjoy the fun without any risks.
What makes babies and toddlers' ears so vulnerable?
In babies and young children, hearing is still developing. The cochlea in the inner ear, which converts sound into signals for the brain, contains extremely sensitive cilia. These cilia can be damaged by loud noises and do not recover.
Loud noises, such as:
- Drums during parades: Up to 100 dB
- Speakers and amplifiers: Up to 110 dB
- Crowd and party noise: Average 85-95 dB
With quality earmuffs you can prevent this noise from causing too much damage.

Tips: How to use hearing protection during Carnival
To get the most out of hearing protection, here are some helpful tips:
- Prepare your child: Let your child get used to the earmuffs a few days before the event by wearing them at home.
- Choose moments of rest: During the event, regularly find a quiet place to avoid overstimulation.
- Make it fun: Choose earmuffs in a cheerful color and combine them with a carnival costume. This way, wearing hearing protection becomes a party!
