Sensory Noise Cancelling Earmuffs (Kids 27dB) | NDIS Autism Aid

Turn down the volume on the world with Dr.meter Kids Noise Cancelling Ear Muffs. This essential piece of low-cost assistive technology is designed to support NDIS participants (children) with Autism (ASD), Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), or auditory hypersensitivity.

For many children, everyday sounds like vacuum cleaners, school bells, or shopping centre crowds can be physically painful and triggering. These earmuffs provide a 27dB Noise Reduction Rating (NRR), creating a "quiet zone" wherever the child goes. By dampening harsh environmental noise without blocking out communication entirely, they allow children to remain calm, regulated, and engaged in community activities that would otherwise be overwhelming.

How This Device Supports NDIS Participants

Preventing Sensory Overload: By reducing the intensity of auditory input, these earmuffs help prevent the "fight or flight" response, significantly reducing the frequency of meltdowns and anxiety attacks in noisy environments.

Enhancing Focus (ADHD): In a classroom or homework setting, background noise is a major distraction. Wearing these muffs helps block out chatter and environmental hums, allowing the child to concentrate on their tasks.

Facilitating Community Participation: They enable families to attend events like fireworks displays, concerts, or sports matches together, ensuring the child with sensory needs is included rather than left at home.

Comfort for Sensitive Ears: Designed with soft PU leather padding and an adjustable headband, they are comfortable for children with tactile sensitivities who might usually reject headwear.

Key Features & Benefits

27dB Noise Reduction: Offers substantial protection against loud noises, suitable for both sudden bangs (fireworks) and continuous drone (traffic/crowds).
Soft & Adjustable: The padded headband and ear cups adjust to fit a wide range of head sizes, ensuring a snug seal without uncomfortable pressure.
Portable Design: The cups rotate 360° and the unit folds up into a compact ball, fitting easily into a school bag or glovebox for on-the-go support.
Certified Safety: Tested to ANSI S3.19 and CE EN 352.1 standards, ensuring they provide genuine hearing protection, not just a physical barrier.
Vibrant Colour Choice: Available in Black, Orange, Blue, Dark Blue, Green, or Purple to suit the child's preference and make the aid feel personalized.
