"Mom, I want to play with the rocking car." Do you easily agree to your child's prayer? I often hear children clamoring to play with the rocker on the street, and parents basically agree to play with their children for one round and then another. It is a harmless game that does not cost much time and money. It can also make children happy listening to music. Many parents will not refuse it, but parents do not know how much damage rocking a car can do to their children's hearing!

Statistics from the U.S. National Health Center show that among children aged 6 to 16, approximately 5.2 million children have hearing damage in at least one ear due to noise. And the damage is likely to begin when the child is young, possibly even in infancy. One of the causes of this injury is noise from toys. If you don’t believe it, you can look around the community to see if there are many children clamoring to play with rocking cars. Passers-by still think the sound is loud even if they are standing far away, but children with sensitive and fragile hearing are in the center of the noise, and the harm can be imagined!

Children who regularly hold noisy toys close to their face or ears put themselves at risk for potential hearing damage. Experts remind everyone that it is difficult to estimate when the damage to children's hearing caused by this kind of toy noise will begin. It is often discovered when the child's hearing problems have already occurred. Therefore, prevention is the most important.

Pediatric experts point out that noise exceeding 70 decibels can cause damage to children's hearing systems. Therefore, young parents should avoid letting their children play with high-volume toys, and the volume should be controlled below 70 decibels.

Ordinary daily conversation is 30-40 decibels, loud talking is 80 decibels, and loud noises or tweeters are 90 decibels. Sounds below 40 decibels have no adverse effects on children, while noises exceeding 70 decibels can cause damage to children's hearing systems. A sound of 80 decibels will make children feel noisy and uncomfortable, and may cause headaches, dizziness, tinnitus, emotional stress, memory loss and other symptoms. If children are exposed to noise stimulation for a long time, they will become prone to agitation, lack of tolerance, lack of sleep, and inattention.

There are a lot of rocking cars in the community where the editor lives, but the children still love them. When they pass by, they will disturb their mothers to sit on them. Many parents are not aware of this hearing loss, and they may not be able to resist sending their children to sit and play while listening to popular children's songs. The children are happy and you can worry less. As everyone knows, children's hearing is slowly being damaged by high-noise music.

So how to detect the decibel value of musical toys? HearingBao's built-in "Bean Hearing Noise Detection" function can perfectly solve this life problem.
