Noise reducing head phones

Advice on headphones please. My son 5 normally does ok and the noises that bother him he will cover his ears. If it’s too loud when his ears are covered he might get upset but it’s not too often. Today however out shopping babies crying were upsetting him, then a balloon popped in the distance not that close to us. It really upset him and he cried. I thought if I had noise reducing ear phones at that time they would have been so helpful. Some have said not to start them as he will then rely on them. I don’t know what to do? I would like to bring him to the cinema but he’s afraid it’s going to be too loud. Would there be a head phone that would let him go to the cinema and hear without being upset with loud noise? Sorry for long post! New to this’ Laughing

  • Definitely headphones for the cinema, in my opinion that never is tolerable, it’s just torture.
    Because I grew up without any official remedy to hearing sensitivity, I just used earphones, when I was 18 before I ever could afford any. But it opened up a more tolerable experience to me, I’ve worn earphones since, overtime I brought more and more expensive ones, and it only got easier..

    So yeah I suffered a long time for that insight, oh and also if you think that’s a long post you should look at the others, you’re doing fine..Sweat smile
