If you are the parent of a newborn, then you are probably already conscious of what noises wake your baby and — fingers crossed — puts them to sleep. But it can be difficult to judge what constitutes a loud noise, especially in an urban environment where we hear things like traffic, car horns, airplanes and construction all the time. Short-term exposure to loud noises can result in temporary hearing loss and ringing in the ears. Noise exposure over long periods can disrupt sleep patterns, elevate heart rate and blood pressure. When we try to describe noise levels for healthy listening, we use A-weighted decibels dBA because it not only measures the sound, but also how the ear responds. Comfortable noise levels are dBA which would be things like conversational speech, nature sounds, or noise in your bedroom or living room. Loud noise levels are dBA which are things like street traffic, heavy trucks or a live concert. Painful noise levels are anything above 90 dBA and would include things like alarms, jackhammers or a jet engine. The survey found that in fact a rubber duck comes in at dBA — higher than a loud concert. In addition to looking at noise levels, we also need to consider length of exposure. With the example of the rubber duck and the live concert, the length of exposure to high level sound at a concert is more significant than squeezing a rubber duck. But it gives some perspective as to where noise exposure starts. The main lesson here is to not think of babies as small adults. We are at your service and welcome any questions you might have around injury prevention and keeping kids safe at home, on the road and at play.

Hi this possibly a bit of a PFB question, so apologies in advance! We're going to a family wedding at the weekend and bringing 9 week DD with us. I'm breastfeeding so no problems there and she's happy to sleep in sling once fed and changed. Just worried will the evening music be too loud for her and end up damaging her hearing permanently or something?! I hope not as we took our three week old to the Olympic swimming today! It was really loud but he fed and slept in the sling all morning. I think you will be ok!

Music is a mood enhancer and can help in lifting the mood of the mother even during pregnancy. It just does not perk up the mood but the benefits of listening to music during pregnancy are many.

So, how does that affect its development? When a pregnant mother listens to music does it actually have any effect on the baby? Researchers differ in their opinion on the subject. But some benefits cannot be ignored.
