Holiday celebrations can become loud and boisterous, putting little ears at risk from loud music, parties or toys.

The American Academy of Pediatrics advises parents to:

• Teach children to protect their hearing, by turning down the volume and taking breaks from headphone use.
• Look for products such as noise cancelling headphones or well-fitting ear buds that can help protect hearing.
• Avoid toys that are excessively noisy. Test these products before you buy them.
• If at a party or concert, stay away from the speakers and other sources of loud noise.
