I would get the little foam ear plugs and size them. I cannot see where
cotton would provide and sound attenuation. And with a small head,
headsets are just too big. I had to build an adapter for headsets for my
4 year old grand daughter. Oh, she likes to fly


Ross,

You are correct. Cotton is totally worthless as hearing
protection and in fact, I usually respond on these threads
and I've NEVER seen this as the "usual" or "consensus" response.

Headsets are too big, but several muff-style hearing protectors
will fit an infant width-wise, and can be filled in at the top
with a bit of extra foam covered by a sock. This is what we did
because IME the foam earplugs become painful if they're inserted
too far, and there's no way for a baby to tell you what "too far"
is.

Your grand daughter must be a cute little peanut. My daughter
has been wearing a set of adult Lightspeeds since she was 2 1/2 --
we don't even have to fill in the top -- but we have a baby giraffe.

Cheers,
Sydney
