4KookieKids Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 My oldest boy gets frustrated because he's so distractible when he's trying to work. I am considering some sort of noise blocking something for him, since space constraints make it so that he can't just go sit in a quiet room by himself when he's working. Thoughts? Recommendations? Alternative suggestions? We have a pair that dh got at a truck show, but they're designed to keep out roaring while letting in normal vocal frequencies, so not ideal for this situation.

Guest Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 We have a set of Bose noise cancelling headphones and while I really like them- they do a great job and also have wonderful sound quality if you want to listen to anything- we have had to send them in twice for repair in less then a year. For $250 that wasn't quite what I expected. Bose has repaired them both times, it's just the hassle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PandaMom Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 (edited) Here is a link to a variety of noise blocking headphones. http://www.earplugstore.com/ear-muffs-for-children.html We have several pair of the Peltor Kids ear muffs. They are very comfy and they fit me as well. The Alpine Muffy ear muffs block noise really well but I find they run a little small. I have ordered from this site before and have no complaints.

Dmmetler Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 ITA with the Pelnor kids-DD's had her bright pink ones since she was 2, and they still fit at 11. She's found that on planes, etc, if she wants to listen to a video, she can put the earbuds inside the earmuffs and use both-plus then the earbuds don't actually have to go in her ears :). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4KookieKids Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 Thanks, folks! I'm so glad for your responses. I almost didn't post this question because I was nervous folks would ridicule me for the suggestion or tell me he just needs to have more space / discipline / or something else... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKDmom Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 It's my 14yo who's super-distractable. We've been talking about setting up a desk in her room so she can hae quiet, but her room is the Land of Distraction, and I don't want her back there where I can't keep an eye on her. I'm guessing the Peltor-Kids ear muffs would be too small. Any recommendations for teens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmmetler Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Peltor makes adult sized ones as well. They're easy to find at home improvement stores or hunting/fishing stores (they're used for shooting sports). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisoncooks Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 (edited) We have these (in pink and purple ;)) and they've been used a lot. The noise cancelling isn't complete, but they work fairly well. https://www.amazon.com/Snug-Sound-Earmuffs-Hearing-Protectors/dp/B00F3YNE1A/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&qid=1466004027&sr=8-15&keywords=noise+cancelling+earmuffs Edited June 15, 2016 by alisoncooks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
