Tried them once with our baby, but found it awkward to put him to my shoulder with them on and not bonk him in the noggin (he was a BIG baby) and decided it was just easier to listen to him bawl. </p> <p>And as someone who has used these for years, I can assure Monica that you are still able to hear things, it just tones them down a bit, puts them at one step removed.</p> I used to wear shooting muffs in collage for studying.

If you think I'm a bit negligent, then I think you're a bit of a masochist.</p> Monica, I only wear ear protection while I’m changing a diaper or handling a runaway tantrum.

Shouldn't you want to hear when your baby cries? I can see putting one ear plug in one ear (maybe in the ear your baby is screaming into when on your shoulder) but that is it. ANything more seems a bit negligent.</p> Ummm…. Shouldn’t you want to hear when your baby cries?

I originally got them to protect myself from my macaw. When I used to walk by his cage with them on, he'd quiet down, like he knew he couldn't get to me. After I had my baby I pulled them out again. Now that she's older (16 months) she puts them on too, and she loves them. These are also great to send a message to those areound you- it's worth the price of looking a little foolish-- to leave you alone. They make me feel safe, warm, and protected. Seriously though, they are strangely comforting. </p> I have a pair of these hearing protectors and I love them. I originally got them to protect myself from my macaw.
