Full details
The Alecto BV73BU ear defenders are designed specifically for children who require hearing protection in loud environments such as sporting events, concerts, or construction zones. These defenders offer a significant benefit by reducing harmful noise levels to safe decibels, ensuring long-term hearing health for developing ears; however, the plastic construction requires careful handling to prevent hinges from over-extending during storage.

FAQs
Are these ear defenders suitable for toddlers?
Yes, they are designed for children, but fit depends on the individual child's head size.
Can these be washed in a dishwasher?
No, never submerge these in water or use harsh chemicals; only wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Do these provide total silence?
No, they are designed to dampen and reduce noise levels, not to create complete sound isolation.
Are these suitable for air travel?
Yes, they can help reduce the noise from jet engines, making flights more comfortable for children.
Can the ear cushions be replaced?
Replacement parts for this specific model are not typically sold separately, so please handle the cushions with care.
Troubleshooting
Ear defenders feel loose or slip off
Adjust the headband size downward to ensure a tighter grip against the head.
Sound is still too loud
Check to ensure that hair is not trapped under the ear cushions, as this prevents a proper seal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, slide the ear cups to their maximum extension before placing them on your child's head. Once positioned over the ears, push the headband down until it sits comfortably at the crown of the head, then adjust the cups upward until the seal is tight against the skull. For care, wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. If the ear cushions become soiled, use a damp cloth with mild soap, but ensure the interior foam remains dry to prevent molding. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place and avoid placing heavy objects on top of them to maintain the integrity of the adjustable arms.
