My son is having a hard time concentrating in school. He is distracted by all of the noises in the classroom. Would these help eliminate some of those sounds?

I found these to be too tight for my 6 month old. I think they'd be too tight for a a school aged child. We used them for 15 minutes and haven't tried them again since.

I know this question was a year ago, but I would suggest something less obvious, earplugs maybe. Also, if you haven't already, get him checked for auditory processing disorder, in 2nd grade my son told me the classroom was noisy, he could hear papers shuffling, feet etc. things that shouldn't really distract a child, I took him to a specialist to check for auditory processing disorder, I already knew he didn't have ADD (also causes heightened hearing sense), he had APD, the specialist treated him and he no longer has this problem.

Even though it might block the sound, he may get teased for wearing them... I would discourage the idea. Just personal opinion for what it's worth.

I am not sure that it would. The head phones are meant to block out high decibel sounds but still be able to hear the person next to you. And depending on his age he might not feel comfortable wearing them in front of his class mates. For the cost though you could definitely give it a try and see if it works for you!

Depends how loud the classroom is I guess. I think they would suffice, but I only have them in a 15x15' room so they are plenty for this room. I'm sure your classroom is bigger than that. For the price, I am happy with them. That being said, they are very inexpensive. Amazon is pretty good with returns though aren't they? Might be worth a try. Hope that wishy-washy answer helped :) -Signed, Switzerland

Yes. It is sensitive enoigh to pick up people talking and should work fine. The background noise it reads at is around 35. A classroom that's quiet would be around 45. 75 and they are talking too much.

No. They provide a substantial reduction in the level of the noise, but you can still hear things muffled.

Depends on what type of noise you want to block out. It makes conversation seem louder to me, but if I want to block out background noise such as my roommate's loud snoring or large fans or vents outside my apartment, it works. By it works, I mean it creates some distance between you and the noise so it is easier to ignore. You might want to look at other products though, or use these with ear plugs. That would be more effective.

Absolutely. Best background noise blocker I've ever had. Blocks out work noise, my four year old and my new puppy. I can even use them when i vacume and hear the music over the vacume. I actually have to turn them down when i ride my bike because i can't hear cars comming up on me. Hope that helped :)

These might be a little big for small ear canals. They do block out sound very well but block the frequencies of normal speech better than over-the-ear muffs. You might try the over-the-ear muff for kids. I have two young boys that are sound sensitive and they wore a pair of these (http://www.amazon.com/Howard-Leight-R-01523-Leightning-Lightweight/dp/B001BL04PS/ref=pd_sim_hi_4?ie=UTF8&refRID;=0K7T5B6PFBD9V464DYTS) to a fireworks display with a big crowd and they were in their own little world.I asked around and these are what I plan to get next: http://hear-pro.com/shop/pro37-passguard/ These might be a little big for small ear canals.

Yes, but they don't work like a pair of earplugs to cancel all noise. They are intended to cancel a continuous background noise like the drone of a jet engine or car engine and wind noise while riding in a car. They reduce ambient noise by several decibels. They will muffle the sound of nearby conversations down to a level where you can't understand the words.

It helps eliminate noises, but does not block all noises out. Plus it only works for the peson who has it in the room, so if you are trying to block out your noise so the neighbors dont complain or hear, then you need to buy some ear phones and be more respectful.

They reduce some of the background noise but not all of it. They are best at reducing regular noises like the hum from air conditioning or air-plane noise. I got them to try and reduce noise from people talking in my office but it didn't really help with that.

Probably depends on how loud you turn up your volume. Headphones don't really eliminate sound very well, but they can cover it up. Unless you buy some really expensive active sound canceling headphones. At my gym, I keep my volume relatively low and can only occasionally make out the piped-in music.

Maybe. My daughter uses these to reduce sound as she plays the drums. She can still hear the song she is accompanying but at about 1/2 the sound.

I have only used them once for shooting practice. It did a good job silencing the gun noise and I couldn't hear people's voices very much. Not sure how it would be for your use.

I would say yes. I use headphones when riding and with no music on they dampen pretty well so I would assume these would do a better job.

They may help a bit with vibration (but just a bit) but are not likely to help with the noise. Good luck

That is not too different from my application, so it should help. It will stop resonance and provide some sound absorption.

No, they just block out some noise because they rest on your ears. The noise that gets blocked out isn't much, able to block the noise of a turning page from a book(when theres no music or audio being emitted.
