Toddlers in the air / Hearing issues
I had my 2 year old son up at the airfield for the first time over the weekend and he loved playing in the plane and watching others take off.
Although his car seat would fit securely in the plane, I haven't taken him up yet as I am concerned about noise levels and potential effects on his hearing.
He doesn't seem too willing to wear a pair of David Clarks (at their smallest size they just fit - probably quite heavy for him at 13.4 ounces!).
I'll likely wait for another couple of years before taking him flying - until he can understand what is going on a bit more - but wondered if anyone else had taken very young children up and what, if any, hearing protection measures they had taken. There are a few child's hearing protection products out there but they seem to be just passive headphones.
Also, does anyone know whether an ANC headset emits anything that might be harmful to a child (particularly given a child's skull is relatively thin)?
Thanks
