Hi, my son says the classroom is too noisy but he refuses to wear ear defenders or earplugs as he says they don’t work. I’m finding it difficult to try and help him with this situation if he won’t wear them. Anyone else had this issue?
Is what he's looking for noise reduction or actual silence?Also something that might be helpful to point out is that ear defenders vary on the decibel (db) reduction, some cut out more sound than others.If you buy them online you have to read the description on what the reduction level you can expect from a certain product is.
The teachers tried him with ear defenders and the ear plugs and he said they didn’t work. I said you still have to be able to hear the teachers. Think he would like total silence to be honest. I didn’t realise they were all different so need to have a look at some that cancel out quiet a bit of noise.
