It’s about hearing for a lifetime
Today’s tech-connected kids live in a high-def world. They experience Blu-ray, surround-sound, life-like computer graphics and 3-D movies. They are bombarded by sound from television, toys, game consoles, music players and in-vehicle entertainment systems.

The earphones are engineered for safe sound output while maintaining Etymotic’s exceptional sound quality. By controlling earphone sensitivity, it is not necessary to restrict the volume setting on the player.

Sound heard through the earphones will not exceed safe levels, so parents can rest easy. Even at the maximum volume setting on portable players, kids can listen safely for up to four hours per day. The earphones block background noise, and provide high-definition sound quality, kids will be able to hear every detail, and won’t complain that the volume is too low.

What can parents do?
Parents choose gear for young children. Many parents understand the importance of limiting sound levels and exposure time, but most are unsure how to manage their kids’ listening. While children are young, one thing parents can influence is the kind of earphones kids use with their portable players. Stock earbuds supplied with portable devices can produce damaging levels of sound.

The main reason listeners of all ages turn up the volume is to block out distracting background noise. The earphones seal the ears so volume levels stay safer. With an adequate seal plus the safe sound output of the earphones, parents are assured their kids are listening safely.
