Sounds and Safety Tips

Keeping Kids Safe When They Sing

Keeping Sound Safe

Safe sound levels are key in keeping kids hearing safe while they sing.

Keep sound at top 85 decibels – like city traffic sound.

Put speakers at head level or a bit high, keeping them at least three feet from singers.

Need-to-Have Safe Gear

Headphones that limit sound made just for kids are key in safe practice times.

These special headphones have built-in 85-decibel limits to stop hearing harm.

Use strict mic rules that stop swinging, dropping, or hitting to keep gear safe and stop mishaps.

Watching and Doing It Right

Clear sound level signs help keep sounds safe. If talking loud is needed at three feet away, it’s time to lower the sound.

Plan sessions as 30-minute parts with breaks to care for young voices and ears.

Keep water close and make quiet spots for breaks from sound. Knowing that hearing harm adds up makes starting safe habits key for long hearing health.
